A fourth is half of a half
Put half of 24 and a fourth of 24 in the same column and the second is the first cut in two. A table of halves and fourths shows that on every number — no rule to memorize.
Split the number in two — then in two again.
A halves and fourths worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. Four tables a page, each with seven numbers across the top and a row to fill in under them. Pick the rows: half of each number; half and then a fourth, where the fourth row is the half row halved; or double and then half, the doubles-and-halves practice. Numbers go to 20, 40 or 100, and every one divides exactly — even numbers for halves, multiples of four for fourths. "A fourth" is the word the US standards use for a quarter. A new set every time, with an answer key.

Half
Split the number into two equal parts: half of 24 is 12.
Fourth
Split the half in two again: a fourth of 24 is 6.
Check
Four fourths make the number back: 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24.
Rows
A fourth is half of a half — side by side, the rows show it. Every number divides exactly.
