Look for anything that is shared or cut into equal parts. Write any two.
Sample answer:
- Amma cuts one roti into two equal parts for my brother and me. Each of us gets 1/2 of the roti.
- A chikki bar is marked into 4 equal pieces. If I eat one piece, I have eaten 1/4 of the bar.

Some more ideas you can use:
- Half a glass of milk.
- Half an hour of play time.
- One-fourth kilogram of tomatoes from the shop.
- Half a watermelon cut for the family.
Why it happens: Any time a whole thing is shared into equal parts, we need fractions to name each part.
