Develop fraction understanding with this Year 2 fractions block, aligned with the White Rose small steps and mapped to the Year 2 National Curriculum. This unit helps pupils recognise, find, name and compare fractions through practical activities, visual models and real-life contexts.
Pupils begin by exploring parts and wholes before learning to recognise and find halves, quarters and thirds of shapes, sets of objects and quantities. They then develop understanding of unit and non-unit fractions, simple equivalence and counting in fractions, helping to build strong foundations for future fraction learning.
These Year 2 fractions resources form part of Maths Masters, our complete primary maths scheme of work. Explore the full Year 2 Spring term sequence for structured progression, interactive teaching slides and differentiated maths activities.

This Year 2 fractions block helps pupils develop secure understanding of fractions through practical exploration, visual representations and mathematical discussion. The lessons support pupils as they recognise fractions as equal parts of a whole and apply this understanding to shapes, objects and quantities.
Pupils learn to identify and find halves, quarters and thirds, explore unit and non-unit fractions, recognise simple equivalence and solve fraction problems. Through structured activities and reasoning opportunities, pupils develop confidence with fractions and build foundations for more advanced work in Key Stage 2.
Aligned with the White Rose small steps and the Year 2 National Curriculum, this block supports whole-class teaching, guided practice and independent maths learning.
If you are looking for Year 2 fractions worksheets, fractions of amounts activities, halves, quarters and thirds resources or a complete Year 2 fractions unit, this block provides the planning, slides and differentiated activities needed to teach the sequence with confidence.
