Exploring Fractions!

In a colorful world of numbers, let’s explore fractions! Imagine a big, round pizza. If we cut it into two equal parts, each piece is called a half. Yum!

Now, if we cut it into four pieces, each piece is a quarter. Just like the beautiful butterflies in Eric Carle's books, fractions come in different shapes and sizes!

You can have one half of a cookie or one quarter of a cake. Fractions help us share and enjoy treats with friends. So, let’s count and share together, just like the animals in the garden!
