Hello, everyone! Today, we’re going on an exciting adventure with Teacher Michael to learn about something called “equal parts.” Are you ready? Let’s dive in!
Imagine you have a yummy chocolate bar. If you break it into pieces that are all the same size, those pieces are called equal parts. They are like little twins because they look just the same!
First, let’s think about a square. If we cut the square into two pieces that are exactly the same size, we have two equal parts. Each piece is one-half of the square.
Now, let’s look at another square. This time, one piece is much bigger than the other. Uh-oh! These are not equal parts because they don’t match in size.
Today, we’re helping a chocolate monster find his way to a chocolate party. We need to trace a path through brownies that are cut into equal parts. Let’s start!
Our first brownie is cut into two equal parts. Yay! We can go through this one because each piece is the same size.
Next, we see a brownie that looks like it’s cut into two parts, but one part is bigger. Oh no! This isn’t equal, so we can’t go through here.
Then, we find a brownie cut into four parts. Let’s check… Yes! All four parts are equal, so we can trace our path through this brownie.
We keep going and find another brownie cut into two parts, but they aren’t equal. One is much bigger, so we skip this one.
Look! Another brownie cut into two equal parts. Perfect! We can go through this one.
We come to a fork in the road with two brownies. One is cut into equal parts, and the other isn’t. We choose the one with equal parts, of course!
As we continue, we find a brownie cut into four equal parts. Each piece is the same size, so we can go through it.
Next, we see a brownie cut diagonally into two equal parts. It doesn’t matter how it’s cut—if the pieces are the same size, they’re equal!
We reach another fork with two brownies. One has equal parts, and the other doesn’t. We pick the one with equal parts.
Finally, we find two brownies, both cut into four equal parts. Even though they look different, each piece is the same size, so both are equal!
When you’re looking for equal parts, make sure each piece is exactly the same size. That’s the secret to finding equal parts!
Thanks for joining us on this fun adventure! We hope to see you next time. Don’t forget to check out more cool videos and apps. Happy learning!
Equal Parts Snack Time: Ask an adult to help you gather some snacks like crackers, apple slices, or cheese. Try to divide each snack into equal parts. For example, if you have an apple slice, can you cut it into two pieces that are the same size? Share your snacks with a friend or family member and see if they can tell if the parts are equal!
Shape Detective: Go on a hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that can be divided into equal parts. Look for things like books, tiles, or pieces of paper. Try drawing lines on a piece of paper to divide it into equal parts. Can you make two equal parts? How about four? Share your findings with a friend and see what they discovered!
Equal Parts Art: Create a piece of art using shapes that are divided into equal parts. You can use colored paper, scissors, and glue. Cut out different shapes like circles, squares, and rectangles, and divide them into equal parts. Arrange them on a larger piece of paper to make a colorful collage. Show your artwork to someone and explain how you made sure each part was equal!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any informal language and ensuring clarity:

Welcome to Kids Academy! Hello, boys and girls. This is Teacher Michael, and today we will be looking at a worksheet that asks us to find all the equal parts. But before we get started, we need to ask ourselves: what does “equal parts” really mean?
Let’s take a look at an example of a shape that is cut into equal parts and a shape that is not. For our first shape, we have a square that is cut into two equal parts. We know they are equal parts because the two parts are exactly the same size. They take up the same amount of space and are each one-half of the square.
Now, let’s consider another square. It is the same size and shape, but are the two parts equal? Does each part take up the same amount of space? One part takes up significantly more space than the other, so this square is not cut into equal parts.
Today, we will be looking for shapes that are cut into equal parts. It doesn’t have to be just two equal parts; it could be cut into three, four, five, six, or any number of parts, as long as each part is exactly the same size.
Now, let’s take a look at our worksheet. The directions say: “Help the chocolate monster find his way to the chocolate party by tracing the path through the brownies that are cut into equal parts.”
Let’s start at the beginning and look for all the brownies that are cut into equal parts. Our first brownie is nicely cut into two equal parts. We can see that because each part is exactly the same size.
As we move along, we see another brownie. It appears to be cut into two parts, but they are not equal. One part is much larger than the other, so this brownie is not cut into equal parts.
Next, we find a brownie that is cut into four parts. Upon closer inspection, I would say that this brownie is cut into four equal parts, so we can trace our way through this brownie.
Continuing on, we see another brownie that is cut into two parts. However, these parts do not look equal to me; one part is significantly larger than the other. Therefore, this brownie cannot be considered cut into equal parts.
Next, we find another brownie that is cut into two equal parts. We can trace our way through this brownie as well.
Now, we have reached a fork in the road with two brownies to examine. One brownie is cut into two parts, and they appear to be equal. The other brownie, however, has one part that seems much larger, so we will trace our way to the brownie that is cut into equal parts.
As we continue, we find another brownie that is cut into four equal parts. Each part is exactly the same size.
Moving on, we come across another brownie that is cut diagonally into two equal parts. It does not matter if the parts are cut vertically, horizontally, or diagonally; as long as each piece is the same size, it is considered cut into equal parts.
Continuing our tracing, we come to another fork with two new brownies. One brownie is cut into equal parts, while the other is not, so we will choose the one that is cut into equal parts.
Finally, we arrive at our last two brownies, which are both cut into four equal parts. Even though they are cut differently, each part in both brownies is the same size, confirming that both are cut into equal parts.
Remember, when you are looking for things that are in equal parts, make sure that each part is exactly the same size.
