Maths Quiz - Year 2 Fractions - Shapes (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 finding fractions of shapes.

Finding fractions of shapes means being able to understand that a shape split into two equal parts has been halved, that a shape split into four equal parts (perhaps by halving and then halving again) has been quartered and a shape split into three equal parts is in thirds. 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.

The shape is divided into four equal sections – each one is a quarter. One is shaded
2.
[ ] 2⁄4
[ ] 1⁄4
[x] 3⁄4
[ ] 1⁄2
If you shaded in 1 quarter, and then 2 more, you would have shaded 3 of the 4 quarters
3.
[x] 1⁄2
[ ] 3⁄4
[ ] 2⁄5
[ ] 1⁄4
There are four quarters. If I shaded two of them, it would be half of the shape
4.
[ ] 2⁄4
[ ] They are both the same
[ ] 1⁄2
[x] 3⁄4
1⁄2 is the same as 2⁄4 so 3⁄4 is greater
5.
[ ] 2⁄3
[ ] 1⁄4
[x] 1⁄3
[ ] 1⁄2
One of the three equal parts is called a third
6.
[x] 8
[ ] 6
[ ] 5
[ ] 10
Each shape has 4 quarters so there are 8 altogether
7.
[ ] 5
[ ] 3
[ ] 6
[x] 9
Each shape has 3 thirds. There are 3 shapes so 3 x 3 = 9
8.
[ ] 2⁄4
[ ] 1⁄4
[x] 4⁄4
[ ] 1⁄2
The whole shape is shaded – this is 4 quarters
