Half of This, A Fourth of That, A Whole Lot of Fun!

Students will partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal-sized parts. They will also explore and discuss the concept that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares. This is a foundational building block of fractions. Students should also develop an understanding of the idea of the whole. This is part of a series of lessons dealing with the foundation for fractions. The other two lessons are Resource IDs 46582 and 46764. Throughout the three lessons the students are creating a Fraction Book.
