What Are Equal Parts?
Equal parts are pieces that are exactly the same size!
When we divide something into equal parts, each part must be identical in size and shape. This is super
important when sharing things fairly with friends or family.
How to Make Equal Parts
1️⃣ Choose what you want to divide (like a pizza or chocolate bar)
2️⃣ Decide how many equal parts you need (halves, thirds, quarters)
3️⃣ Divide carefully so each piece is exactly the same size!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Kitchen Math: Involve your child when dividing food (pizza, cake, sandwiches) to practice equal parts in real life.
- Paper Folding: Use paper folding activities to create halves, thirds, and quarters - great for visual learners!
- Equal vs Unequal: Show examples of unequal divisions (like giving one person a bigger piece) to reinforce why equal parts matter.
