This challenging worksheet anchors fractions in everyday situations. Part A is multiple choice: Jake eats one-fourth of 12 raisins, a ribbon is cut into 3 equal pieces, students compare one-half of 8 with one-fourth of 8, and Emma shares 9 strawberries equally among 3 friends. Part B fills in answers for one-third of 21 buttons, one-half of 10 oranges, one-fourth of a 24-hour day, the fraction shaded when 2 of 4 parts are colored, and one-third of 12 eggs. By the end, second graders can split groups fairly, name the fraction each share gets, and check whether halves really beat fourths.
