Dividing Shapes into Equal Parts: what children learn
Dividing a shape into equal parts is the hands-on skill behind every fraction picture. The parts must be the same size, not just any number of pieces, for the fraction to mean what it says.
Dividing Shapes into Equal Parts: worked example
Divide this shape into 4 equal parts. 4
Draw lines so the shape has 4 pieces that are all the same size. A rectangle can be cut into 4 equal strips.
Dividing Shapes into Equal Parts: a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes draw the right number of parts, but the parts are not the same size.
Dividing Shapes into Equal Parts: how to help at home or in class
Give your child a pile of blank rectangles and circles and ask for a cut into 2 equal parts, then 4, then 8. Halving again and again is a handy strategy: split the shape in half, then split each half. Check by cutting the shape out and laying the pieces on top of each other. Circles are the trickiest, so save them for later. Next, naming what one of those pieces is called leads into unit fractions.
