- Section A: Circle the pictures that show 1/2:
- The large triangle divided into two equal parts with one part shaded.
- The rectangle divided vertically into two equal parts with one part shaded.
- The circle divided diagonally into two equal parts with one part shaded.
- The rectangle divided horizontally into two equal parts with one part shaded.
- The square divided diagonally into two equal triangles with one triangle shaded.
- The rectangle divided vertically into two equal parts with one part shaded.
- The grid of 16 circles divided horizontally into two equal rows with the top row shaded.
- The rectangle divided into four equal parts with two opposite parts shaded (top-left and bottom-right).
- Section B:
1) Draw a line to divide each shape into two equal pieces. Then shade these shapes to show 1/2:
- For the square: draw a vertical or horizontal line through the center and shade one half.
- For the heart: draw a vertical line down the middle and shade one side.
- For the circle: draw a diameter (any straight line through the center) and shade one semicircle.
- For the pentagon: draw a line from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side (if possible for symmetry) or any line that divides it into two equal areas, then shade one half.
2) Draw lines and shade these shapes to show 1/2:
- For the square: divide it into four equal smaller squares and shade two of them (e.g., top row or diagonal pair).
- For the heart: divide it into four equal parts by adding a horizontal line at the middle and shade two parts (e.g., top half or left and right quarters).
- For the circle: divide it into four equal quadrants and shade two adjacent or opposite quadrants.
- For the pentagon: divide it into five equal triangles from the center and shade two and a half triangles (or approximate by dividing into two equal areas using multiple lines and shading one area).
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of half worksheet.
