    one-fourth (one quarter) of a Collection

                    Here is a collection of 16 flowers.

                                                 1
                    Let us find one-fourth ( ) of the collection.
                                                 4
                                    1
                    One-fourth ( ) means 1 part out of four equal parts.
                                    4
                         1
                    So,   of 16  or  16 ÷ 4 = 4.
                         4
                                                                                                 To find one-fourth of
                                                                                                 a collection, we divide
                                                                                                 it by 4.

                        1.  Colour the objects for the given fractions.

                           a.                         1      b.                        1      c.                        2
                                                      2                                3                                3

                       2.  Write down the fraction that shows what part of each collection is coloured.

                           a.                                b.                               c.

                       3.  Find one-half of the following collections. one has been done for you.

                                                       8 ÷ 2 = 4

                           a.                           1                     b.
                                                          of 8 = 4
                                                       2

                           c.                                                 d.
