      TEKS 2.3C: Fractional Parts

      • Fractional Parts with Models

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can name a fraction that is greater than one whole from a model.

        Focuses On:

        • Naming fractions: halves, fourths and eighths
        • Using models to create improper fractions
        • Using models to create mixed numbers

        Builds On:

        1.6G

        Partition two-dimensional figures in two and four fair shares or equal parts and describe the parts using words.

        Next Level:

        3.3H

        Compare two fractions having the same numerator or denominator in problems by reasoning about their sizes and justify the conclusion by using symbols, words, objects and pictorial models.

        This lesson is designed to support student understanding of modeling fractions that are greater than one whole. The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on improper fractions and mixed numbers.


        In the first instructional block, students model and name fractions that are greater than one using improper fractions. First, students create a denominator through counting how many parts make up one whole. Then there is an opportunity to create a numerator by counting the shaded parts of a model. Modeling fractional parts through pictorial representations support student understanding of improper fractions.


        The second instructional block focuses on using models to create mixed numbers by counting wholes and naming the equal parts. The pictorial representation of models greater than one support student understanding of mixed numbers.


        Scaffolds and supports such as practicing how many parts make one whole are intentionally found throughout the lesson to support conceptual learning.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do you teach Fractional Parts to 2nd graders?

      To teach Fractional Parts to 2nd grade Math students, start with concrete, hands-on models, then move to pictorial representations before abstract notation. TEKS 2.3C asks students to use concrete models to count fractional parts beyond one whole using words and recognize how many parts it takes to equal one whole. Crystal Instruction's free ClearLessons for 2.3C walk through this progression with modeling, guided practice, and built-in checks for understanding, while the ClearSheets provide scaffolded practice. You can download both free on this page.

      What is 2.3C in 2nd grade Math?

      TEKS 2.3C is a 2nd grade Math standard for Fractional Parts. It requires students to use concrete models to count fractional parts beyond one whole using words and recognize how many parts it takes to equal one whole. It is part of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Grade 2 Math.

      Where can I find free TEKS 2.3C lessons and worksheets?

      You can download free TEKS 2.3C lessons and worksheets directly on this page — no login or account required. Crystal Instruction provides free PDF versions of our Fractional Parts ClearLessons and ClearSheets for Grade 2 Math, and each one is also available as an interactive lesson inside the full Crystal Instruction platform.

      What skills are included in 2nd grade Fractional Parts?

      TEKS 2.3C (Fractional Parts) covers the following 2nd grade Math skills: students learn to use concrete models to count fractional parts beyond one whole using words and recognize how many parts it takes to equal one whole. Free resources for this standard include Fractional Parts with Models.

      Are TEKS 2.3C resources aligned to STAAR?

      Although Grade 2 Math is not directly tested on the Texas STAAR test, TEKS 2.3C builds the foundational skills students need for later STAAR assessments. Every Crystal Instruction ClearSheet for 2.3C is STAAR-aligned, and our ClearLessons are built to STAAR rigor using released STAAR test items, so students practice Fractional Parts at the depth STAAR expects.
