A portion is like when you have a big cake and you cut it into smaller pieces so everyone can have a taste. Each piece is a portion of the cake. It means taking a big thing and dividing it into smaller, equal parts so everyone can share and enjoy. Think of it like sharing your toys with friends. You give each friend a toy so everyone has something to play with.

Another way to think of a portion is like when you color a picture. You have a whole picture to color, but you color one part at a time. Each part that you color is a portion of the whole picture. It helps you focus on one piece at a time so you can do a good job.

When you eat dinner, your plate has a portion of the food. It’s like having just the right amount of spaghetti or vegetables that is good for you. Not too much and not too little. It’s like when you pour juice into a cup. You don’t fill it all the way to the top because that might be too much. You pour just enough to enjoy, and that’s your portion.
