Step-by-step solution for: 2nd Grade Math Worksheets - Geometry - Fractions - Coloring ...
Let’s go step by step through each problem on the worksheet. We’ll solve them one at a time, carefully checking our work.
---
Problem 1 (Top Left): Circle divided into 3 equal parts
> Color one part blue. Color the rest of the circle red.
- Total parts = 3
- Blue = 1 → fraction blue = 1/3
- Red = remaining 2 → fraction red = 2/3
✔ Check: 1 + 2 = 3 → correct.
---
Problem 2 (Top Right): Rectangle divided into 4 equal parts
> Color one part green. Color two parts pink.
- Total parts = 4
- Green = 1 → fraction green = 1/4
- Pink = 2 → fraction pink = 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2
But since the question doesn’t ask to simplify, we can leave as 2/4 unless told otherwise. However, in elementary math, they often expect simplified form. Let’s check context — other problems don’t specify, so we’ll give both if needed. But for now, let’s write as given: 2/4 is acceptable, but better to simplify to 1/2.
Wait — looking ahead, some answers may be expected unsimplified. Since instructions say “color” and then “what fraction”, and no mention of simplifying, we’ll report exact colored portions.
Actually, let’s stick with exact counts first. So:
Green: 1 out of 4 → 1/4
Pink: 2 out of 4 → 2/4
We’ll note that 2/4 = 1/2, but unless asked, maybe keep as 2/4? Hmm. Looking at later problems — e.g., Problem 7 has 6 parts, coloring 3 orange → 3/6 = 1/2. Probably they want simplified.
To be safe, I’ll provide simplified fractions where possible, because that’s standard in most curricula by this level.
So:
Green: 1/4
Pink: 1/2
✔ Check: 1 + 2 = 3 colored, 1 uncolored? Wait — instruction says “color one green, color two pink” — doesn’t say what to do with the fourth. But the questions only ask about green and pink. So we ignore the uncolored part for those questions.
Fraction green = parts colored green / total parts = 1/4
Fraction pink = 2/4 = 1/2
Yes.

Problem 3 (Middle Left): Circle divided into 2 equal parts
> Color one part green. Color one part purple.
- Total parts = 2
- Green = 1 → 1/2
- Purple = 1 → 1/2
✔ Check: 1 + 1 = 2 → full circle.
---
Problem 4 (Middle Right): Rectangle divided into 3 equal parts
> Color one part blue. Color the rest of the shape purple.
- Total parts = 3
- Blue = 1 → 1/3
- Rest = 2 → purple = 2/3
✔ Check: 1 + 2 = 3 → correct.
---
Problem 5 (Bottom Left - first row bottom): Circle divided into 4 equal parts
> Color two parts yellow. Color one part green. Color one part pink.
- Total parts = 4
- Yellow = 2 → 2/4 = 1/2
- Pink = 1 → 1/4
(Green is also there, but question only asks for yellow and pink)
✔ Check: 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 → all parts accounted for.
---
Problem 6 (Bottom Right - first row bottom): Rectangle divided into 5 equal parts
> Color two parts red. Color three parts yellow.
- Total parts = 5
- Yellow = 3 → 3/5
- Red = 2 → 2/5
✔ Check: 3 + 2 = 5 → full rectangle.
---
Problem 7 (Very Bottom Left): Circle divided into 6 equal parts
> Color three parts orange. Color one part blue.
Questions: What fraction is white? What fraction is orange?
First, total parts = 6
Colored:
- Orange = 3
- Blue = 1
→ Total colored = 4
→ White (uncolored) = 6 - 4 = 2
So:
- White = 2/6 = 1/3
- Orange = 3/6 = 1/2
✔ Check: 3 orange + 1 blue + 2 white = 6 → correct.
---
Problem 8 (Very Bottom Right): Rectangle divided into 2 equal parts
> Color one part brown. Color one part pink.
Total parts = 2
- Brown = 1 → 1/2
- Pink = 1 → 1/2
✔ Check: 1 + 1 = 2 → full rectangle.
