This easy starter sheet introduces second graders to fraction vocabulary. Part A is a sorting activity where students separate words like one-half, three, one-fourth, and seven into Fraction or Whole Number groups. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank questions about shapes split into 2, 3, or 4 equal parts. Part C uses four true-or-false statements to check that students know one-half means two equal parts and that fourths come from four equal pieces.
