Match Fraction Words to Pictures

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

"Match Fraction Words to Pictures" is written for 2nd Grade (Ages 7-8), and it covers Common Core 2.G.A.3. If your little one is a year younger but already steady on fractions, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and reading fractions and matching to words never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

2nd grade math worksheet: draw lines to match 6 share words, like three fourths and two thirds, to the shaded pictures. Answer key included. Part of our reading fractions and matching to words collection. Aligned to Common Core standards.

How do I use this worksheet?

Before handing out the worksheet, briefly introduce the concept with a short oral warm-up or a visual model on the board. Let students work through it independently after a quick group example, checking in with a partner if they get stuck, encouraging them to talk through their thinking: "What strategy are you using? How do you know that is right?" After completing the worksheet, review any missed problems together and discuss the reasoning rather than just the answer. For extra support, let students use manipulatives or draw pictures alongside the written problems. These reading fractions and matching to words worksheets work well as daily practice, homework, or a focused review activity.

What students will practice

What does this worksheet teach?

⌄

Draw lines to match 6 share words, like three fourths and two thirds, to the shaded pictures. The share words name the shaded part: how many shares are shaded, then the share name. The directions on the page read: Read the share words on the left. Then, draw a line from each dot to the dot beside the picture that matches. An answer key is included.

Can I use this reading fractions and matching to words worksheet for homeschool or classroom?

⌄

Yes, both. We made it for 2nd Grade fractions, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with reading fractions and matching to words. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

How do you read fraction words?

⌄

The first word tells how many shares are shaded and the second names the share. Three fourths means 3 shaded shares out of 4 equal shares.

What does two halves mean?

⌄

Two halves means both shares of a whole cut in half, so the whole shape is shaded. Match Fraction Words to Pictures includes it next to one half and two fourths.

Is there an answer key?

⌄

Yes. Both sheets have an answer key.
