Questions about Sharing a Cake
What does the Sharing a Cake worksheet cover?
It practices a cut whole shared out, each share named as a fraction of the whole — 6 questions for Grade 3, all on Common Core 3.G.A.2: Split shapes into equal parts and name each part as a fraction. The instruction to students is “Read carefully, then work out the answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which Common Core standard does Sharing a Cake practice?
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.G.A.2 — 3.G.A.2, under Geometry for Grade 3. The published standard reads: “Partition shapes into parts with equal areas. Express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Sharing a Cake is written for Grade 3, typically ages 8-9. It is one of the sheets on 3.G.A.2, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Sharing a Cake come with an answer key?
Yes. All 6 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.
How many different versions of Sharing a Cake can I print?
25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Is Sharing a Cake free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Sharing a Cake, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
