Questions about Halves and Quarters

What does the Halves and Quarters worksheet cover?

It practices distinguishing the two partitions — 5 questions for Grade 1, all on Common Core 1.G.A.3: Split shapes into halves and quarters. The instruction to students is “Sort each one into the right box”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Halves and Quarters practice?

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Halves and Quarters is written for Grade 1, typically ages 6-7. It is one of the sheets on 1.G.A.3, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Halves and Quarters come with an answer key?

Yes. All 5 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 Halves and Quarters 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.
