Find One Quarter, Two Quarters and Three Quarters of Shapes

This activity is all about finding 1/4, 2/4, and 3/4 of shapes. 

Let's have a look at what each of these means. 

1. Finding 1/4 of a shape:

1/4 is read as one quarter and can also be written like this:

So, let's shade 1/4 of a square. It needs to be split into four equal parts and then one of the parts needs to be shaded.

Remember equal means exactly the same size. 

2. Finding 2/4 of a shape:

2/4 is read as two quarters and can also be written like this:

So, let's shade 2/4 of a circle. It needs to be split into four equal parts and then two of the parts need to be shaded:

Remember equal means exactly the same size. 

Can you see that 2/4 is also the same as a half? 

3. Finding 3/4 of a shape:

3/4 is read as three quarters and can also be written like this:

So, let's shade 3/4 of a rectangle. It needs to be split into four equal parts and then three of the parts need to be shaded:

Remember equal means exactly the same size.
