This hard-level worksheet challenges first graders to solve word problems about halves and fourths. Part A offers four multiple-choice questions, including figuring out what fraction of a pizza Tom eats and comparing 1/2 with 1/4. Part B follows with five fill-in-the-blank story problems about sharing grapes, cake slices, and finding a whole number when half of it is given, pushing students toward early fraction reasoning.
