Equal parts of circles and rectangles

The first instance of  is under the Early Math Math Mission. This exercise practices the ability to recognize congruent subshapes in pictures and starts to produce the idea of fractions as geometric objects.

Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:


 * 1) Select the shape that is cut correctly: This problem has shape that is supposed to be cut into some number of equal pieces. The student is to select all options that cut the figure correctly.Cutpie.png

Strategies
This exercise is easy to attain accuracy but is medium difficulty to attain speed badges. The major hindrance to getting speed badges is the multiple select option and the fact that the pictures do not always fit on a screen easily and so it involves some shrinking or maneuvering to see all shapes.


 * 1) Be prepared to cut rectangles and circles. Also expect horizontal, vertical, and diagonal cuts.
 * 2) Research indicates cuts are only made into 2, 3 or 4 pieces.
