This easy worksheet builds on fraction names by asking second graders to compare sizes. Part A sorts 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 2/4, 2/3, and 3/4 into Less Than One-Half or One-Half or More, which gently challenges the idea that bigger denominators mean bigger pieces. Part B fills in blanks for two friends sharing a muffin, a granola bar split into 3 equal pieces, and one-fourth of 8 grapes. Part C catches common mistakes with statements like a shape cut into 2 unequal pieces shows halves. Students finish ready to reason about fraction size, not just naming.
