This hard worksheet pushes first graders past surface vocabulary into reasoning about equal parts. Part A's four multiple-choice prompts include 'a pizza is cut into 4 equal slices, what is each slice?' and 'how many fourths make one whole?' plus a tricky item asking whether a rectangle cut into 2 pieces is always halves. Part B follows with five fill-in-the-blanks covering ideas such as 'a half is bigger than a fourth of the same shape,' 'two fourths of a shape equal one half,' and that unequal pieces do not show true halves.
Students learn to defend answers with the equal-parts rule rather than guessing from the number of cuts.
