Mrs. Walker teaches students how to partition circles and rectangles into equal parts, such as halves, thirds, and fourths. The lesson includes identifying shaded areas and completing shapes to form whole units. Students are encouraged to use a dry erase board for practice and are guided through various examples to reinforce their understanding. The video concludes with instructions for independent practice.
