Form Halves and Fourths of Rectangles and Circles

On Iqleel, first-grade students will practice dividing shapes. They will learn how to split rectangles and circles into two (halves) or four (fourths) equal parts. This is a hands-on way for Grade 1 learners to understand fair shares and is a key first step for learning more about fractions and geometry.
