From the workbook

A real page of Math · Grade 2

Slice It Fair: Halves, Thirds and Fourths

The child will recognize and draw triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons and cubes by their sides and corners, split a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count them, and split circles and rectangles into halves, thirds and fourths. · 40 min

Warm-up — say this

“Let's count sides and corners! Which shape has the most sides?”

Worked example

A rectangle is split into 3 rows with 5 same-size squares in each row. How many squares in all?

Answer: 15 squares. Add the rows: 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.

A mistake students make

A third is bigger than a half because 3 is bigger than 2.

How the book fixes it

Fold two same-size papers, one into halves and one into thirds. Lay a third on top of a half: the third is smaller. More shares means smaller pieces.

Note to the parent

Grade 2 names shares with words like 'a third' and 'three thirds make a whole'; writing fraction symbols like 1/3 comes in Grade 3. Folding paper is the most reliable way to make truly equal shares.

That is one topic of many. The free questions above check a skill; this is the part that teaches it.

Practice is not teaching. Math · Grade 2 is the part that teaches.

These questions check a skill your student has already met. They do not explain anything, and they are not meant to — that is what the workbook is for, and it is the whole difference between the two.

  1. It teaches.Each topic is a forty-minute lesson that tells you what to say, in order: a five-minute warm-up, twelve minutes of teaching, ten minutes guided, ten minutes on their own, three minutes to close. Written for a parent who has never taught.
  2. It explains.Two worked examples per topic, and the two mistakes students actually make on that exact skill — named, with how to correct each one. When a student is stuck, the book already knows why.
  3. It reviews.Every answer comes with a short explanation, not just a key. And every topic has its own question bank, so a student who needs another go gets different questions rather than the same page again.
  4. It is a plan, not a pile.Every topic names the standard it addresses, in teaching order, so you can see the whole year before you start.

Why this exists

I was spending thousands a month on tutors, and when I asked about enrolling a second or third child the answer was the same everywhere: that will be double. So I built the thing I could not find — nine subjects, kindergarten through grade 5, every topic in the order a student should actually meet it.

Questions parents ask

Are these math worksheets really free?

Yes. All 25 questions and their answers are on this page, free to print and free to photocopy for your own students. There is no account, no email address and no card.

Can a teacher or a tutor use these with a class?

Yes. Print and photocopy them for the students you teach. The only thing we ask is that you do not republish them as your own or sell them.

Where are the answers?

Marked beside each question on this page, so it prints as its own answer key. If you want a clean copy for a student, print it and cover the answer column, or use the sample workbook instead.

What grade are these for?

Grade 2. Every other grade from kindergarten to grade 5 has its own page, linked at the foot of this one. If your student finds these hard, try the grade below — that is normal and it is not a problem.

What do the paid workbooks add?

These questions check a skill. The workbook teaches it: a forty-minute lesson that tells you what to say, two worked examples, the two mistakes students actually make on that skill and how to correct each one, and an explanation beside every answer rather than a bare key.
