Cut a sandwich in front of a seven-year-old and you will hear it straight away: “Their half is bigger.” Children are quick judges of fairness, and that instinct is exactly where fractions begin. This 2nd grade equal shares worksheet turns it into careful looking. Twenty shapes sit in five rows of four: circles, triangles, hexagons, pentagons, stars, an octagon and rectangles, each one crossed by lines. Some are split into equal parts, and some only look that way. Your child ticks the small box beside every shape that is shared fairly. A second page gives the answer key.
