Partitioning shapes worksheets

Partitioning worksheets for first grade rotate three quick questions: circle the word for the shares shown (halves or fourths), decide yes or no whether a split rectangle's shares are equal, and count the equal shares. The drawings mix fair cuts with sneaky off-center ones.

1st grade
