What children learn in Level 53
- Cut a shape into 2 equal shares, and each share is one half. Two halves make the whole!
- Equal shares must be exactly the same size. These pieces are not equal, so they are not halves.
- Cut a shape into 4 equal shares, and each share is one fourth, also called a quarter.
- Your turn! Tap each equal share to count them.
- More equal shares means smaller shares. A fourth of a pizza is smaller than a half!
