Quarters - Worksheet | Maths Year 1 - Free Printable

To solve this problem, we need to find which shapes are split into quarters.

What does "quarters" mean?
Quarters means a shape is divided into 4 equal parts. All 4 parts must be the same size and shape.

Let's look at each shape one by one:

1. Top Left (Tilted Rectangle): This rectangle is divided by 3 lines into 4 long strips. Each strip looks like the same size. So, this is split into quarters.
2. Top Middle (Circle): This circle has vertical lines, but the middle part is wide and the side parts are narrow. They are not equal. So, this is not split into quarters.
3. Top Right (Rectangle with triangles): This rectangle is cut into 4 triangles. If you look closely, all 4 triangles are the same size and shape. So, this is split into quarters.
4. Bottom Left (Square with curved corners): This shape is divided by a cross into 4 smaller squares. Each corner piece is identical. So, this is split into quarters.
5. Bottom Middle (Triangle): This triangle is divided into 4 smaller triangles. However, the top triangle is small, and the bottom pieces are larger trapezoids or different-sized triangles. They are not all equal. So, this is not split into quarters.
6. Bottom Right (Tilted Rectangle): Just like the first one, this rectangle is divided into 4 equal long strips. So, this is split into quarters.

Conclusion:
The shapes that are correctly split into 4 equal parts (quarters) are:
- The two tilted rectangles (top left and bottom right).
- The rectangle with the diagonal lines (top right).
- The square-like shape with curved corners (bottom left).

Final Answer:
You should colour the following shapes:
1. The tilted rectangle in the top left.
2. The rectangle with diagonal lines in the top right.
3. The square shape with curved corners in the bottom left.
4. The tilted rectangle in the bottom right.

(Do not colour the circle in the top middle or the triangle in the bottom middle.)
