Basic Fraction Worksheets for 1st and 2nd Grade

This worksheet is designed to help students learn and practice identifying equal parts of shapes and creating fractions when given a visual model.

This download includes 2 different worksheets with varying levels of difficulty. The lower-level version (as noted with one star in the upper right-hand corner) encourages students to determine which shapes have been correctly divided into two parts. They must then use their understanding of halves to partition shapes and shade in one half on each. Students will also practice recognizing which shapes have been partitioned into four equal parts.

The higher-level version of this worksheet (two stars) encourages students to look at a shaded model and write the fraction with words (i.e., three-fourths, one-half, etc.).

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!
