Exploring Equal Parts: Halves, Thirds, and Fourths

The video tutorial explains how to divide shapes into equal parts, such as halves, thirds, and fourths. It demonstrates how different shapes can have equal parts of varying sizes and how fractions relate to time on a clock. The tutorial uses examples like pizza to illustrate the concept of equal parts and concludes with a preview of the next lesson on word problem solving.

How do you find half of a shape?

• By shading the entire shape

• By dividing the shape into two unequal parts

What happens to the size of the parts when a card is folded more times?

• The parts become larger

• The parts become smaller

• The size of the parts does not change

• The card cannot be folded

Which has larger parts, a card folded into halves or into fourths?

• Fourths

• Halves

• Both have the same size parts
