Lesson Four – Shape Quarters

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to practise identifying and dividing different types of shapes into four equal parts to illustrate the fraction values for quarters.
The class can explain and model how the divided fraction quarters in each of the different shapes can be combined and joined back together to reform the whole shape.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise identifying and dividing different types of shapes into four equal parts to illustrate the fraction values for quarters
Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to identify and record how to divide examples of a selection of 2D shapes into matching sets of four quarters in different ways making sure that each part of the divided shapes are equal in size [enlarge to A3]
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to identify and divide different types of shapes into four equal quarters to indicate their fraction values.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify, calculate and record how to divide different shapes, quantities and numbers to illustrate the fractions of halves and quarters. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
