Let's solve the problem step by step.
---
Problem 1: Put a tick (✓) in the box for the shape that is divided into equal parts.
We need to identify which shapes are divided into
equal parts.
Let’s examine each shape:
1.
First shape – Circle divided vertically into two parts
- It's split into two halves.
- The two parts are
equal in size.
-
✔ Equal parts →
Tick this one.
2.
Second shape – Star with 5 points
- The star is divided into 5 sections, but these sections are
not equal in area or shape.
-
✘ Not equal parts → Do
not tick.
3.
Third shape – Circle divided into 4 quarters
- Divided into 4 equal parts (like a pie cut into 4).
-
✔ Equal parts →
Tick this one.
4.
Fourth shape – Rectangle divided into a grid of 6 small rectangles
- It's divided into 2 rows and 3 columns = 6 equal rectangles.
- All rectangles are the same size.
-
✔ Equal parts →
Tick this one.
5.
Fifth shape – Rectangle divided into different-sized rectangles
- Some parts are larger than others.
-
✘ Not equal parts → Do
not tick.
✔ So,
shapes 1, 3, and 4 are divided into equal parts.

Problem 2: Write the fraction below.
Each circle is divided into
8 equal parts (since all have 8 slices). We need to count how many parts are shaded and write the fraction.
####
Shape 1 – Red shaded
- Total parts: 8
- Shaded parts: 3 (red)
- Fraction:
3/8
####
Shape 2 – Yellow shaded
- Total parts: 8
- Shaded parts: 4 (yellow)
- Fraction:
4/8 (which simplifies to 1/2, but since it's Grade 3, we can leave as 4/8 unless asked to simplify)
####
Shape 3 – Blue shaded
- Total parts: 8
- Shaded parts: 3 (blue)
- Fraction:
3/8
####
Shape 4 – Green shaded
- Total parts: 8
- Shaded parts: 3 (green)
- Fraction:
3/8
> Wait — let's double-check the green one:
> - Looking at the image: 3 out of 8 parts are shaded green? Yes.
> - But wait — actually, the green section appears to be
3 parts, yes.
Wait! Let's check again:
-
First circle (red): 3 red parts → 3/8
-
Second (yellow): 4 yellow → 4/8
-
Third (blue): 3 blue → 3/8
-
Fourth (green): 3 green → 3/8
But looking closely at the
fourth circle, the green shading seems to cover
3 segments, yes.
So all fractions:
1.
3/8
2.
4/8
3.
3/8
4.
3/8

✔ Final Answers:
####
Problem 1:
Tick the boxes under:
- First shape (circle split into two)
- Third shape (circle split into four)
- Fourth shape (grid of 6 equal rectangles)
####
Problem 2:
Write the fractions:
1.
3/8
2.
4/8
3.
3/8
4.
3/8

📝 Summary:
-
Equal parts mean all pieces are the
same size and shape.
-
Fractions = (number of shaded parts) / (total number of equal parts).
