Q4 Here is a rectangle which shows quarters. Discuss how.
A rectangle of 16 small squares, painted in four colours.
The rectangle has 16 small squares.
Each colour (green, purple, red, yellow) fills 4 squares
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16
So each colour covers one quarter of the rectangle, even though the shapes look different.

Q5 Show quarters and halves in different ways in the grids given below.
Four empty grids. Each grid has 5 squares across and 4 squares down.
Squares in one grid = 5 × 4 = 20
Half of 20 = 10 squares
One quarter of 20 = 5 squares
Colour 10 squares for half and 5 squares for a quarter, in a different pattern in each grid.
half half one quarter one quarter
Half in two ways, a quarter in two ways.

Q6 Use the fraction cards from your book to form a whole.
two halves four quarters
Cut-out pieces like the ones on the sheet at the back of the book.
Take the cut-out pieces from the back of your book.
Join 2 halves — you get one whole.
Join 4 quarters — you also get one whole.
1 half and 2 quarters also make one whole.
Put one piece on another to check that the pieces are the same size.
C hapter at a glance
When 1 whole is shared equally between 2 people, each share is called a half.
When 1 whole is shared equally among 4 people, each share is called a quarter.
2 halves make one whole. 4 quarters make one whole. 2 quarters make one half.
Double means adding the same number again: double of 7 is 14.
Parts are equal only when they are the same size. Fold or place one on the other to check.
Equal parts can look different, as long as each one has the same amount.
