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 finding fractions of numbers.
Finding fractions of numbers means being able to understand that a number split into two equal groups has been halved, and that a number split into four equal groups has been quartered. Children in Year 2 should also recognise the equivalence of two quarters equalling one half, and also that three quarters is greater than a half, but less than the whole. Using division is key when working out and finding fractions of whole numbers.
Help your child get used to dealing with parts of numbers by reading our Learning Fractions page. It’s really useful.

Both halves must be equal and identical
|
4 + 4 = 8 so half of 8 is 4
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 + 6 = 12 so 1⁄2 of 12 is 6
|
Halving a number is the same as dividing it by 2

Find a quarter by dividing the number into 4 equal parts
|
12 divided into 4 equal parts is 3
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 ÷ 4 = 5 so 1⁄4 of 20 is 5
|
If you put two quarters together, they make a half
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Three of the quarters would be more than two, one or none of them!
|
Half of 10 is 5 and a quarter of 20 is also 5!
