Understanding Quarters and Halves

The video tutorial introduces the concept of quarters, explaining that one whole is divided into four equal parts, each called a quarter. It emphasizes that one whole equals four quarters. The tutorial then provides exercises where students color halves of shapes, identify shapes divided into two or four equal parts, and drag fractions to match colored portions. The exercises reinforce understanding of halves and quarters through interactive activities.
