Objectives Today we are going to learn about how to divide a shape into equal parts. For the parts to be equal we need to make sure they are all the same size.
2 Equal Parts Let s pretend 2 friends want to share this pizza. If we cut it right down the middle, then both friends get equal parts. When we cut the pizza into two parts, we can say we cut the pizza into halves.
3 Equal Parts Let s pretend 3 friends want to share this pizza. We want to make sure that all three friends get equal parts. When we cut the pizza into three parts, we can say we cut the pizza into thirds.
4 Equal Parts Let s pretend 4 friends want to share this pizza. We want to make sure that each friend gets the same size piece. When we cut the pizza into four parts, we can say we cut the pizza into fourths.
