Your students have already learned how to compose and decompose shapes, but now it’s about learning to divide into equal portions. This starts with basic shapes and becomes more complex.

See the fact file below for more information on the Partitioning Shapes or alternatively, you can download our 27-page Geometry: Partitioning Shapes CCSS 1.G.3 worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment.

Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

  • At the end of the lesson, students will be able to partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and a quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER:

  • When teaching partitioning shapes into halves and quarters, remember the following:
    • Introduce the correct language, such as dividing a shape into fourths is quarters and dividing equally into two is halves.
    • Students must understand that partitioning is about equal divisions.
    • This lesson forms the foundation of understanding fractions.

THEORY:

  • Your students have already learned how to compose and decompose shapes, but now it’s about learning to divide into equal portions. This starts with basic shapes and becomes more complex. By learning the concepts of halves and quarters, students will learn to solve story problems involving fractions. As students understand the concept of fairness, use this in your lessons!

  • These circles are divided into two equal parts. They are divided in half.
  • Two halves make a whole!

  • These squares are divided into four equal parts. They are divided into fourths or quarters. Two fourths or quarters make a half, and four quarters or fourths make a whole!
