#### 4. Use colours to split the shapes into equal parts in 3 different ways.

For each shape, we need to divide it into equal parts in three different ways. Here are the possible divisions:

- Shape 1 (3 squares):
1. Divide vertically into 3 equal columns.
2. Divide horizontally into 3 equal rows.
3. Divide diagonally into 3 triangular sections.

- Shape 2 (5 squares):
1. Divide vertically into 5 equal vertical strips.
2. Divide horizontally into 5 equal horizontal strips.
3. Divide into 5 L-shaped sections.

- Shape 3 (6 squares):
1. Divide vertically into 6 equal vertical strips.
2. Divide horizontally into 6 equal horizontal strips.
3. Divide into 6 smaller rectangles (e.g., 2x3 or 3x2).

Final Answer for Section 4:
- Draw the divisions as described above using different colors for each method.

#### 5. Chad says: "If I split this group of ducks into 2 equal groups, there will be 5 ducks in each group." Is Chad correct? Explain your answer.

- There are 10 ducks in total.
- To split them into 2 equal groups, each group should have \( \frac{10}{2} = 5 \) ducks.
- Chad's statement is correct because 10 divided by 2 equals 5.

Final Answer for Section 5:
- Yes, Chad is correct. If you split 10 ducks into 2 equal groups, there will be 5 ducks in each group.
