This easy worksheet helps second graders sort fraction language from whole-thing language. Part A asks them to drop phrases like half a sandwich, one-third of a pie, and one-fourth of a cake into Part of a Whole, while a whole apple and a full glass of milk go into A Whole Thing. Part B fills in missing words for sentences about a cookie shared among 4 friends and a paper folded in half. Part C tackles tricky true-or-false statements, including the classic trap that one-fourth is bigger than one-half. Kids leave with steady fraction vocabulary and a sharper eye for equal parts.
