How do you share objects equally?
Method: Objects can be shared equally by dividing them into equal parts.
Example — Paratha: A paratha can be folded in half and cut along the fold to make two equal halves. Each person gets one half.
Example — Chocolate: Objects like chocolates can be divided into equal pieces so everyone gets the same amount.
Key Concept: When 1 whole is shared equally between 2 people, each share is called a half. Folding a paratha over itself helps to check if two pieces are equal.
