About Year 1 Quarter Worksheets
Does your child know what a quarter means? These free Year 1 quarter worksheets build on halving skills to introduce the concept of four equal parts. If your child can find a half, they're ready to tackle quarters — and these worksheets make it straightforward.
This week's five worksheets introduce quarters through visual, hands-on activities. Your child will divide shapes into four equal parts, find a quarter of a group of objects, and solve simple quarter problems. The progression is gentle: shapes first, then quantities, then word problems.
