What students practise
I can describe shapes by their sides and corners and split a shape into equal shares.
Students tell the defining attributes of shapes, put shapes together, and partition circles and rectangles into equal shares named with the words halves, thirds and fourths.
Key words
- half
- one of two equal shares
- third
- one of three equal shares
- fourth (quarter)
- one of four equal shares
- equal shares
- parts that are exactly the same size
- side
- a straight edge of a flat shape
- vertex
- the point where two sides meet
Common mistakes
- Counts the parts without checking that they are the same size.
- Thinks more parts means a bigger share.
Standards
Common Core State Standards this worksheet practises.
- 3.NF.A.2a: Represent 1/b on a number line: the interval from 0 to 1 is the whole, partitioned into b equal parts; each part has size 1/b and its endpoint is 1/b. (unverified)
- 3.NF.A.2b: Represent a/b on a number line by marking off a lengths of 1/b from 0; the endpoint is the number a/b. (unverified)
