Fractions - Assessment

The Year 2 Fractions Assessment from Master the Curriculum provides a variety of exercises to test students' understanding of basic fractions. The assessment begins with a task where students must tick images that represent certain fractions, such as one half, one third, and one quarter. They are also asked to match these fractions with their names, ensuring they can correctly identify and associate the visual representation with the appropriate term. This section is designed to reinforce the recognition and naming of simple fractions, with a total of four marks available for correct answers.

Further into the assessment, students are challenged to match fractions with their correct representations, which involves a deeper understanding of how fractions can be visually depicted. Additionally, practical application questions require students to shade in parts of a grid to represent given fractions, such as one half, one third, and one quarter, demonstrating their ability to visualise and partition shapes according to fractional values. The assessment includes a real-world scenario where students must calculate the number of cubes taken by characters named Zach and Tia, based on the given fractions of a total number. To conclude, students are asked to confirm if two different representations of a fraction are equivalent and to explain their reasoning, potentially using shaded grids as a visual aid. This comprehensive assessment also invites students to reflect on their confidence with fractions, helping teachers gauge their pupils' self-assessed proficiency in the topic.
