Free Fraction Activity | Identifying Equal Parts & Dividing Shapes - Free Printable

Explanation:
We are asked to identify whether each shape shows HALF or QUARTER, based on how it’s divided:

- HALF means the shape is split into 2 equal parts, and one part is shaded (or indicated).
- QUARTER means the shape is split into 4 equal parts, and one part is shaded (or indicated).

But in this worksheet, none of the shapes are shaded — instead, we’re to look at how the shape is *divided* (by lines), and decide if the division represents a half or a quarter. The instruction says:
> Circle if HALF or QUARTER
> • HALF (divided equally into 2 parts)
> • QUARTER (divided equally into 4 parts)

So for each figure, count how many equal parts the shape is divided into by the lines.

Let’s go one by one:

1. Heart with one vertical line splitting it into 2 equal halves → HALF

2. Square with two diagonals crossing → makes 4 triangles. Are they equal? Yes — diagonals of a square divide it into 4 congruent right triangles. So 4 equal parts = QUARTER

3. Triangle divided into 4 smaller triangles (by connecting midpoints). This creates 4 equal small equilateral (or similar) triangles — yes, standard subdivision: 4 equal parts → QUARTER

4. Diamond (rhombus) split by one vertical line into 2 equal halves → HALF

5. Square divided into 4 smaller squares (2×2 grid) → 4 equal parts → QUARTER

6. Rectangle divided into 4 equal small rectangles side-by-side → 4 equal parts → QUARTER

7. Circle divided by two perpendicular diameters (like a + sign) → 4 equal quadrants = QUARTER

8. Diamond divided by 3 horizontal lines → makes 4 horizontal strips. Are they equal? Yes, evenly spaced lines → 4 equal parts = QUARTER

9. Triangle split by one vertical line from top vertex to midpoint of base → 2 equal triangles (mirror images) → HALF

10. Circle with one horizontal diameter → splits circle into 2 equal halves → HALF

Now let’s list the correct choice for each number:

1. Half
2. Quarter
3. Quarter
4. Half
5. Quarter
6. Quarter
7. Quarter
8. Quarter
9. Half
10. Half

But the worksheet says “Circle if HALF or QUARTER” — meaning for each item, you pick one. So the final answer is the list of correct labels per item.

Since the user only wants the final answer (and no extra sections because all options are false), I’ll provide just that list as the answer.

Final Answer:
1. Half
2. Quarter
3. Quarter
4. Half
5. Quarter
6. Quarter
7. Quarter
8. Quarter
9. Half
10. Half
