When we cut something in half, we get 
Example Question #2 : Use Rectangles And Circles To Show Halves And Fourths: Ccss.Math.Content.1.G.A.3
If I cut this circle in half, how many pieces will I have?
When we cut something in half, we get two equal pieces.
Example Question #3 : Use Rectangles And Circles To Show Halves And Fourths: Ccss.Math.Content.1.G.A.3
If I cut this rectangle into fourths, or quarters, how many pieces will I have?
When we cut something into fourths, or quarters, we get four equal pieces.
Example Question #4 : Use Rectangles And Circles To Show Halves And Fourths: Ccss.Math.Content.1.G.A.3
If I cut this circle into fourths, or quarters, how many pieces will I have?
When we cut something into fourths, or quarters, we get four equal pieces.
Example Question #5 : Use Rectangles And Circles To Show Halves And Fourths: Ccss.Math.Content.1.G.A.3
If I cut a rectangle into fourths, how am I changing the size?
The four pieces will be the same size as the rectangle
The four pieces will be smaller than the rectangle
The four pieces will be bigger than the rectangle
The four pieces will be different sizes
The four pieces will be smaller than the rectangle
When we cut something in fourths, we get four smaller pieces that equal each other. If we put those pieces back together, we’d get the original size of the rectangle.
