Partition Shapes Into Equal Shares

I can put smaller shapes together in the shape I want to make.

Put the squares side by side. Or, put one square below the other one.

Put all the squares side by side. Or, put all the squares one below the other. Or, make the four small squares into one bigger square.

You can put two triangles together.

The word ‘equal’ means the same. It means they are the same size.

You split it into two equal parts. Two halves make a whole.

You split it into four equal parts. Four fourths make a whole.

The parts are called thirds.

Yes. For example, you could split it in half from top to bottom or from side to side.

No. The parts are only fourths when they are the same size.
