Maths

We will be working on halving numbers eg ½ of 10 = 5, ½ of 14 = 7 etc. Try making up sums where you half the numbers (even numbers up to 20). If able, try larger numbers and ask your child how they found the answer.

We will also be introducing a quarter of an object and looking at how a quarter is one part out of a possible four. (We will NOT be finding ¼ of a number). Try making a sandwich and cutting it into quarters. Eat ¼, how many quarters are left? Eat 2/4, how much is left (2 quarters or 1 half, which is the same).
