Let’s go step by step to count the equal parts in each shape.
---
First square (blue outline):
It has one horizontal line cutting it into two rectangles.
→ That’s
2 equal parts.
Second square (green outline):
It has one vertical and one horizontal line, making 4 small squares.
→ That’s
4 equal parts.
Circle (purple outline):
It has one vertical and one horizontal line crossing at the center — like a plus sign inside.
That makes 4 equal slices (like pizza pieces).
→ That’s
4 equal parts.
First triangle (pink outline):
It has one line from top to bottom middle — splits it into 2 smaller triangles.
→ That’s
2 equal parts.
Second triangle (blue outline):
It has lines from each corner to the center — making 3 smaller triangles.
→ That’s
3 equal parts.
Pentagon (yellow outline):
It has lines from each of its 5 corners to the center — making 5 small triangles inside.
→ That’s
5 equal parts.

Now let’s fill in the blanks:
- The square is cut into
2 equal parts
- The square is cut into
4 equal parts
- The circle is cut into
4 equal parts
- The triangle is cut into
2 equal parts
- The triangle is cut into
3 equal parts
- The pentagon is cut into
5 equal parts
All answers match what we counted carefully.
Final Answer:
2, 4, 4, 2, 3, 5
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of equal parts of a whole worksheet.
