Final Answer:
Color all shapes that are divided into equal parts blue, and all shapes that are divided into unequal parts red.
──────────────────────────────────────
Explanation:
- First, look at each shape and see how it’s divided (by lines inside it).
- If all the pieces are the same size and shape, it’s
equal → color it
blue.
- If the pieces are different sizes or shapes, it’s
unequal → color it
red.
Examples from the worksheet:
- A circle cut in half with a straight line through the center → two equal halves →
blue.
- A circle with one small slice and one big slice → unequal →
red.
- A rectangle split into 4 identical smaller rectangles → equal →
blue.
- A square split into 3 parts where one part is bigger than the others → unequal →
red.
- A circle divided into 3 pie slices of the same size → equal →
blue.
- A rectangle with 3 strips, but one strip is wider than the others → unequal →
red.
Go through every shape one by one and decide: same-size pieces? → blue. Different sizes? → red.
