Grade 2 Fractions: Halves, Thirds and Fourths Practice Test

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is The whole has 2 equal parts.

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: The denominator, or bottom number, tells the number of equal parts in the whole.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is The whole has 2 equal parts.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 3 parts are selected or described.

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: The numerator, or top number, tells how many parts are selected or described.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is 3 parts are selected or described.

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-fourths covers the same amount as one-half when the whole is divided into equal parts.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{2}{4}$.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{3}$ is not equal to $\frac{1}{4}$.

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-third and one-fourth name different-sized parts of the same whole, so they are not equal.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{3}$ is not equal to $\frac{1}{4}$.

Correct answer: A

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

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: Four of 4 equal parts make one whole, so $\frac{4}{4}$ equals one whole.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{4}{4}$.

Correct answer: B

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 of 3 equal parts is $\frac{2}{3}$, which is less than the whole.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{2}{3}$.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 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: Split 6 into 2 equal groups: 6 ÷ 2 = 3.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is 3.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 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: Split 8 into 4 equal groups: 8 ÷ 4 = 2.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is 2.

Correct answer: A

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 one-fourth, so it is greater.
3. Check the answer: The correct choice is $\frac{3}{4}$.

Correct answer: B

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 $\frac{2}{3}$.
