Fractions

Fractions

I can partition (divide) a circle, a square, and a rectangle into two, three, or four equal parts.

I can describe equal shares with words (e.g., halves, thirds, fourths, and quarters).

I can describe a whole by the number of equal parts (e.g., two halves make a whole).

I can explain the more equal parts in a given shape, the smaller the parts.

I can and explain and give examples to show that halves, thirds, and fourths of an identical whole need not be the same shape (e.g., half of a rectangle can be shown horizontally or vertically).
