Fractions: Parts and Wholes
Fractions describe equal parts of a whole. Read each prompt carefully. For drawing tasks, show equal parts clearly and shade the requested number.
Recognising Halves and Quarters
1.Tick every example that shows halves: the whole is split into 2 equal pieces.
- A banana cut into 2 equal pieces
- A pie cut into 4 equal slices
- A sheet of paper folded into 2 equal sections
- A muesli bar broken into 3 pieces
2.Which description shows quarters?
- A rectangle split into 2 equal pieces
- A circle split into 4 equal pieces
- A biscuit split into 3 unequal pieces
3.Complete both statements: A half is one of equal parts. A quarter is one of equal parts.
Drawing and Shading Fractions
4.Divide the circle into 2 equal parts and shade 1 part.
5.Divide the circle into 4 equal parts and shade 1 part.
6.Draw a shape of your choice split into 4 equal parts. Shade 2 parts to show two quarters.
7.Complete the fraction descriptions: One half means shaded part out of equal parts. One quarter means shaded part out of equal parts.
Sorting and Equal Parts
8.Sort each description into halves or quarters: a rectangle cut into 2 equal parts; a square cut into 4 equal parts; a triangle cut into 2 equal parts; a circular flatbread cut into 4 equal parts.
- Rectangle cut into 2 equal parts
- Square cut into 4 equal parts
- Triangle cut into 2 equal parts
- Circular flatbread cut into 4 equal parts
- Quarters
- Halves
- Halves
- Quarters
9.Select every shape description that tells you the whole is divided into equal parts.
- A rectangle split into 2 matching parts
- A square split into one large part and one small part
- A circle split into 4 matching parts
- A triangle split into 3 different-sized parts
Thinking About Fractions
10.Draw an item that could be shared fairly between 2 people. Show how it would be split into halves.
11.Draw an item that could be shared fairly among 4 people. Show how it would be split into quarters.
12.In your own words, explain what makes parts of a whole fair shares.
13.True or false: one half of a whole is larger than one quarter of the same whole.
TrueFalse
14.True or false: when the same whole is split into 4 equal parts, each part is smaller than when it is split into 2 equal parts.
