Maths Quiz - Year 2 Fractions - Counting Up to 10 (Questions)

This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 Maths and Numeracy for children aged 6 and 7 in year 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with counting in fractions up to 10.

Being able to count up in fractions means understanding the value of a fraction and recognising how many of each makes a whole. For example, when counting up in quarters, it will take four steps to reach one whole and 40 to reach 10. Children in Year 2 are expected to be able to count up to ten in fractions and this quiz will help them.
