Remember It

Which representations show one-quarter?

How do you know?

2 1 1 1
4 3 2 4
These all represent one-quarter because each whole is
divided into
4 equal parts and they show 1 of the parts.

Remember It

How do you find one-quarter of a quantity?

Divide the quantity into 4 equal parts, then ring 1 part.

Can you show me?

Now divide them into 4 equal

The denominators are the same because both shapes are

divided into 4 equal parts.

The numerators are different because a different

number of equal parts are shaded.
