Description

You have discovered an ancient robot powered by shapes. However, it is out of power! In this game by Zapzapmath, students will partition shapes into parts with equal areas.

Vocabulary Words

equal

fractions

lines of symmetry

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Partition Shapes Into Unit Fractions. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Compose and Decompose rectangles into equal rectangular regions or arrays.

Partition a rectangle into identical squares using rows and columns.

Partition a shape into equal units where each partition can be expressed as a unit fraction of the whole shape.

Determine what fraction of a shape is shaded when partitioned into unit fraction portions and parts are shaded.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

How do you divide something into equal parts? What is symmetry? What are fractions? Would the amount of pieces you cut a shape into represent the numerator or denominator in a fraction?

After the Game

How could you determine the lines of symmetry in shapes that were not squares or rectangles? Which shapes were the hardest to divide into equal parts?
