The Coloring Halves Thirds Worksheet gives second grade students focused, no-prep practice with fractions. It is a print-and-go math page that fits easily into a mini-lesson, a center rotation, or a quick review day.

Learning objective: By the end of this activity, students will be able to use their fractions skills accurately and explain their thinking.

Why it works: Practice like this gives students a chance to try fractions on their own after you teach it. Because the page is quick to complete and easy to review, it fits into almost any part of the school day.

• Clear, student-friendly directions

• Answer key (1 page)

How it's organized: The page opens with these directions: "Look at the equal parts in each shape. Circle halves or thirds to name the parts." Students then complete the practice items in order and check their work before turning it in.

Grade level: Designed for second grade students. It also works well for first grade and third grade students who need extra practice or a fresh review.

How to use it: Assign it after a mini-lesson, use it in a small group, send it home as homework, keep it in your sub folder, or use it as a quick formative check.

Answer key: An answer key is included, so you can check work quickly or let students self-correct.
