Use this fractions of a circle worksheet to help your students explore halves, quarters and eighths.
Looking for a Year 2 Fractions Worksheet?
Once students enter Year 2, they may be working to understand equal parts and how they relate to halves, quarters and eighths. We have a worksheet ready for you to use in your classroom that involves understanding parts of a whole and simple fractions.
With this worksheet, students will use different colours to represent fractions while creating their own fruit pie. Students will make their own fruit pie by adding:
- Yellow custard to the whole pie
- Blue blueberries to ½ of the pie
- Green apple to ¼ of the pie
- Red cherries to ⅛ of the pie
- Orange peach to ⅛ of the pie
One version shows a pie that is split into eight equal parts, whereas the other version is split into one-half, one-quarter and two-eighths.
Differentiate This Fractions Worksheet
Looking for some suggestions as to how you might adapt this resource to meet the needs of all learners? Here are a couple of ideas from our experienced teacher team:
- Extending Students – For students who need an additional challenge, encourage them to create their own fruit pie recipe, then swap these with a partner.
- Supporting Students – For students who need support, use hands-on fraction circles to help them see the different pieces that are needed to create a whole.
You can also differentiate this activity by providing students with the different versions based on their confidence with fractions.
