Fractions An Interactive Activity introducing quarters
First we will slice it into 2 equal sized pieces. Click on the cutter to slice the pizza. Each piece is called a half.
If we slice it into 2 more equal sized pieces we will have 4 pieces altogether Each piece is called a quarter.
1 whole pizza has been split into 4 equal pieces We write it like this. 1 whole pizza 4 equal pieces
2 quarters is the same amount as 1 half 2 1 = 4 2
We can do this with numbers as well 1 of 4 = 1 4
Cutting these numbers in quarters is the same as dividing them by 4. 1 of 4 = 1 4 is the same as… 4 : - 4 = 1 These give us the same answer.
Now try these 1 of 8 4
4 - : 4
1 of 12 4
