An interactive whiteboard or manipulatives such as square tiles, cubes, or other<br />

square-shaped objects can be used to help students partition rectangles (MP.5).<br />

In first grade students partitioned shapes into halves, fourth and quarters.<br />

Second grade students partition circles and rectangles into 2, 3 or 4 equal shares<br />

(regions). Students explore this concept with paper strips and pictorial<br />

representations and work with the vocabulary terms halves, thirds, halves, and<br />

fourths. (2.G.3) Students recognize that when they cut a circle into three equal<br />

pieces, each piece will equal one third <strong>of</strong> its original whole and students describe<br />

the whole as three thirds. If a circle is cut into four equal pieces, each piece will<br />

equal one fourth <strong>of</strong> its original whole and the whole is described as four fourths.<br />

Students should see circles and rectangles partitioned in multiple ways so they<br />

learn to recognize that equal shares can be different shapes within the same<br />

whole.<br />

As students partition circles and squares and explain their thinking they develop<br />

mathematical practices such as making sense <strong>of</strong> quantities (MP.2), justifying<br />

conclusions (MP.3), attending to precision (MP.6), and evaluating the<br />

The Mathematics Framework was adopted by the <strong>California</strong> State Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> on<br />

November 6, 2013. The Mathematics Framework has not been edited for publication.
