Math Activity on Fractions — Grade II

Children of Grade II had a Math activity on the topic “Fractions”. The meaning of a fraction; numerator and denominator in a fraction; a whole, half and quarter were explained to the children.  Each child stuck the whole cards and also colored the half of a whole and the quarter of a whole in their notebooks.

By this activity, children learnt that a fraction is a part of a whole: a fraction is written by using 2 numbers — numerator and denominator. Numerator is the number of parts taken out of the whole and denominator is the total number of parts the whole has been divided into.  They also learnt that when anything is cut into 2 equal parts, each part is a half and when anything is cut into 4 equal parts, each part is a quarter.
