Grade 2 Fractions: Halves, Thirds and Fourths Practice Test

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}$.

1. Look at the equal parts: Identify how many equal parts make the whole and how many parts are selected or described.
2. Use fraction language: One-half is greater than one-fourth when the wholes are the same size.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{2}$.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{3}$.

1. Look at the equal parts: Identify how many equal parts make the whole and how many parts are selected or described.
2. Use fraction language: One-third is greater than one-fourth because the whole is divided into fewer equal parts.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{3}$.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is $\frac{2}{4}$.

1. Look at the equal parts: Identify how many equal parts make the whole and how many parts are selected or described.
2. Use fraction language: Two of 4 equal parts cover the same amount as one of 2 equal parts, so $\frac{2}{4}$ equals one-half.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{2}{4}$.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is $\frac{2}{3}$.

1. Look at the equal parts: Identify how many equal parts make the whole and how many parts are selected or described.
2. Use fraction language: Both fractions have thirds, and 2 thirds is more than 1 third.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{2}{3}$.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{4}$.

1. Look at the equal parts: Identify how many equal parts make the whole and how many parts are selected or described.
2. Use fraction language: One-fourth is less than one-half of the same whole.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{4}$.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $\frac{3}{4}$.

1. Look at the equal parts: Identify how many equal parts make the whole and how many parts are selected or described.
2. Use fraction language: Three-fourths is greater than one-fourth because it names more fourths.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{3}{4}$.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is $\frac{2}{2}$.

1. Look at the equal parts: Identify how many equal parts make the whole and how many parts are selected or described.
2. Use fraction language: Two halves make one whole, so $\frac{2}{2}$ equals one whole.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{2}{2}$.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is $\frac{2}{3}$.

1. Look at the equal parts: Identify how many equal parts make the whole and how many parts are selected or described.
2. Use fraction language: Two-thirds names more thirds than one-third, so it is greater.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{2}{3}$.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{3}$.

1. Look at the equal parts: Identify how many equal parts make the whole and how many parts are selected or described.
2. Use fraction language: One-third names fewer thirds than two-thirds, so it is less.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{3}$.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $\frac{3}{4}$.

1. Look at the equal parts: Identify how many equal parts make the whole and how many parts are selected or described.
2. Use fraction language: Three-fourths names more fourths than two-fourths, so it is greater.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{3}{4}$.
