What Does 'Equal Parts' Mean?

Equal parts are the same size When we share fairly, everyone gets the same amount Let's practice making equal parts together!

Meet the Half! (1/2)

One whole becomes TWO equal parts Each part is called a HALF Both halves are exactly the same size Let's find halves around us!

Meet the Fourth! (1/4)

One whole becomes FOUR equal parts Each part is called a FOURTH or QUARTER All four parts are exactly the same size Let's find fourths around us!

Halves vs. Fourths

{"left":"Halves = 2 equal parts\nEach piece is BIGGER\n1/2 means one half","right":"Fourths = 4 equal parts\nEach piece is SMALLER\n1/4 means one fourth"}
