Module 27: Split the Shape-Math 2B - Course Guide

Module Overview:

In this module, students will divide whole shapes into halves, and also partition whole shapes into thirds and fourths. Students will identify and make equal parts of a whole. They will also create an object using partitioned shapes and identify shapes that are split equally and unequally.

Module Video Questions:

When a student watches a video take time to ask them questions about what they watched. Suggested questions for the videos in this module are listed here. Suggestion: Have the student watch the entire video first all the way through. Then have them watch the video a second time, as they watch it pause the video and ask the questions.
