About this resource

Shade equal parts of circles and rectangles to show halves and quarters, then compare with the completed models.

  • Halves-and-quarters shading activities using partitioned circles and rectangles
  • Worked shading reference

Curriculum reference — Ontario: Canadian fourths is acceptable in the retained worksheet; use a clear equivalent term in the listing without claiming file edits. Ontario Grade4 explicit fraction representation includes halves and quarters; this is introductory practice within that expectation, not a mandatory minimum age. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Shade one of two equal shares to represent a half
  • Shade the requested number of fourths in a partitioned shape
  • Compare halves and fourths across circles and rectangles

Teaching tips

  • Confirm that every region in a model is equal before deciding which parts to shade.
  • Ask learners to name both the shaded and unshaded fraction after completing each figure.

Skills covered

  • Fraction representation — learners show a named fraction by shading
  • Equal-share reasoning — learners use pre-partitioned regions consistently
  • Shape comparison — learners recognize the same fractional idea in different figures
