Equal 2 equal parts are called: halves 3 equal parts are called: thirds 4 equal parts are called: fourths

Are the parts equal? YES YES YES halves thirds fourths NO

Equal or Unequal 4 Equal Parts

Equal or Unequal? How many parts? 4 Equal Parts

Equal or Unequal? How many Parts? 3 Unequal Parts

Equal or Unequal? How many parts? 2 Equal Parts

Equal or Unequal? How many parts? 2 Unequal parts How would you divide the heart into two equal halves?

Two halves

How many? If a shape shows thirds how many parts does it have? Three If a shape shows halves how many parts does it have? Two If a shape shows fourths how many parts does it have? Four
