A very important point to remember is that fractions are equal parts.
When something is divided into 2 equal parts we call them halves (1 half, 2 halves). If something is divided into 3 equal parts we say they are thirds. If an object is divided into 4 equal parts we call them fourths or quarters. An easy way to remember the term 'quarters' is to ask yourself.... How many quarters make $1.00? Four coins of equal value ($0.25) make 1 dollar.
Here are some games to try.
