Let’s Learn About Fractions!
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.

Let’s pretend 4
friends want to share
this pizza.
We
want to
make sure that each
friend gets the same
size piece.
