Main Task

Here are some fruits that have been cut into 2 EQUAL HALVES. 

Now answer these questions in your jotter about halves.

Challenge

Ask an adult to help you divide things into 2 halves. Why not half some fruit equally. You might make a sandwich or toast and cut it into 2 equal halves, or half a bar of chocolate or a cake or pizza. Maybe you could share out some sweets between 2 people so each person has an equal half.

Fun Finisher

A half can also be written like this – 1/2.

Here is a story about 1/2.

Watch this video about splitting things into halves.

Extra Challenge
