Understanding Halves, Thirds, and Fourths

This video tutorial for second-grade math covers Module 22, Lesson 5, focusing on different ways to show equal shares. The lesson begins with an introduction to the concept of equal shares, followed by demonstrations on how to draw halves, thirds, and fourths using different methods. An activity involving folding paper to create equal shares is also included, allowing students to practice the concepts hands-on. The video concludes with a review section to check understanding, encouraging students to apply what they've learned by drawing and folding to show equal shares.
