Fractions and Equal Shares

This fractions unit is a great way to lay the foundation for division by introducing equal parts and sharing equally - aligned with the Common Core for grades 2 and 3.

Best of all - NO PREP! Print and go - you're ready for class!

This fraction packet includes 3 posters and many hands-on worksheets covering equal shares and fractions. My students were struggling with fractions, so I developed this packet when I realized that my students were unable to split jellybeans into equal shares.

They really didn't "get" what a fraction was, so this packet became my intervention activity.

You will find 3 posters for the benchmark fractions 1/2, 1/3, and ¼, along with various worksheets to use for each of those concepts.

No Prep needed! Make the copies and teach!

Don’t feel that you must use every worksheet – pick and choose those that suit your students’ needs. If they catch on to a concept quickly, you can use the additional fractions and equal shares worksheets as a review in the future, or to differentiate with struggling students.

I have included answer keys behind the pages that have standard answers – some fraction and equal shares pages allow the students to make up their own problems, and I included a very basic answer key for several of those types of pages.

I have added worksheet page numbers in the bottom right-hand corner to help you quickly find what you are looking for within this packet.

What you receive:
*Introduction
*Posters - 3 page-sized posters
*Equal Shares worksheets and answer keys, (page numbered 4 – 20)
*Fractions (with answer keys) pages 21 - 36.

The worksheets #17 and #18 are similar but differentiated pages. Choose the one that best suits your students and class, or mix and match.

**Answer Keys included!**
