Key idea

partition shapes into equal-area parts and name each part as a unit fraction.

Draw one rectangle divided into 2 equal-area parts. Name each part’s fraction.
A shape of area 6 square units has 2 equal-area parts. Find the area of one part.
Draw a 2-by-2 unit rectangle and split it into 2 equal-area regions.
Draw two different equal-area partitions of a rectangle into 2 parts.

The answer key explains each one, so you can tell what a wrong answer means.

Teach with the slides (about 15 minutes): a warm-up, the big ideas, a “spot the slip” challenge, Mr DJ’s worked example, and a pick-your-pepper round on whiteboards. Or watch the video together.
Practice with the worksheet. Everyone does Mild and Medium, then climbs to Spicy and Extra Spicy.
Check understanding with the exit ticket, and send the homework home.
Mark with the answer key — each answer shows the steps and the most likely mistake. The slides’ teacher notes are in the key too.
