Fractions Intro — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. half
2. whole
3. part
4. equal
5. share
6. piece
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A pizza cut into 2 equal parts has two halves.
When you cut a pizza into 2 pieces that are the same size, each piece is called a half. Two of them together are called halves.
2. When you share a cookie equally with a friend, each person gets one half.
If you and a friend split a cookie into 2 equal pieces, each person gets one half because there are 2 equal parts.
3. If nothing is cut, you have the whole.
When nothing has been cut or divided, you still have the whole thing, meaning all of it in one piece.
4. Two halves make one whole.
If you put two halves back together, they fill up the entire shape again, making one whole.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. A half means 2 equal parts.
True False
True. A half is made by splitting something into 2 equal parts, so each part is the same size.
2. A whole apple has been cut into pieces.
True False
False. A whole apple has not been cut at all. "Whole" means the apple is still in one complete piece.
3. When you share equally, each part is the same size.
True False
True. Sharing equally means every part is the same size, so each person gets a fair amount.
