What is fair sharing?
Fair sharing means cutting a whole into equal parts. Each part is a fraction. A roti shared by 2 gives each a half (1/2); shared by 4, each gets a quarter (1/4). The bottom number tells how many equal parts; the top tells how many we take.
Imagine a train 🚂 lunch box with one big dhokla: share it among 5 friends and each gets 1/5!
Shares to know
| Shared by | Each gets | Name |
|---|---|---|
| 🌓 2 | 1/2 | half |
| 🥧 3 | 1/3 | third |
| 🍕 4 | 1/4 | quarter |
| 🖐️ 5 | 1/5 | fifth |
How to find a fraction of a group
- Count the things in the group.
- Make as many equal groups as the bottom number.
- Count the things in one group.
- Example: 1/4 of 16 barfis → 4 groups of 4 → 4 barfis.

Maths Sharing and Measuring Class 4
Sharing and Measuring is Chapter 5 of the new NCERT Maths Mela textbook for Class 4. It introduces fractions through fair sharing of food like rotis, dosas, dhoklas and sweets. Children learn halves, quarters, thirds and other unit fractions, see that 2 quarters make a half, find a fraction of a group of things, compare unit fractions, and use halves and quarters when measuring length, weight and capacity. This guide explains each idea in simple language for Class 4 students, parents and teachers. It goes with the Sharing and Measuring worksheet for Class 4 on WitKnowLearn, which also gives an online quiz, online activities and interactive games on the same page.

Solved examples
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Correct |
|---|---|
| 1/4 is bigger than 1/3 because 4 is bigger | More parts means smaller parts: 1/3 > 1/4. |
| Calling unequal pieces halves | Halves must be 2 equal parts. |
| 1/4 of 16 = 64 | Divide: 16 ÷ 4 = 4. |
| Half a kilogram = 50 g | Half of 1,000 g = 500 g. |
Daily life
We share rotis, fruits and sweets with family and friends, buy half a kilogram of tomatoes or a quarter litre of milk, and cut cloth by half a metre. Fair sharing is fractions in action.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Fold paper rotis into halves and quarters.
- Share sweets or beads equally among family members.
- Use a measuring jug to show half and quarter litre.
- Ask: would you rather have 1/3 or 1/5 of a cake? Why?
- Let the child retry the challenges to earn 3 stars.
