The second hard worksheet asks first graders to reason about halves, fourths, and fair sharing in tricky situations. Part A has four multiple-choice questions, including a sandwich cut into fourths and a circle with unequal parts that students must judge. Part B contains five fill-in-the-blank problems about sharing cookies among four children, recognizing that two fourths equals one half, and finding a whole when one fourth is known.
