Questions about Halves and Quarters

What does the Halves and Quarters worksheet cover?

It practises distinguishing the two partitions — 4 questions for Grade 1, all on Common Core 1.G.A.3: Split shapes into halves and quarters. The instruction to pupils is “What fraction is shaded?”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Halves and Quarters practise?

The published standard reads: “Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Does Halves and Quarters come with an answer key?

Yes. All 4 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
