Lesson Two – Finding Halves
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to explain and model how to divide different numbers for multiples of two into equal halves using pictorial diagrams to indicate the number fractions.
The class can practise using concrete equipment to illustrate how to divide the selected even numbers to twenty into pairs of halves to match the recorded diagrams of shapes.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explain and model how to divide different numbers for multiples of two into equal halves using pictorial diagrams to indicate the number fractions
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated templates to select and record how to divide even numbers of objects to twenty for core and extension ability levels and to twelve for support ability levels into two equal parts by using concrete objects and diagrams.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record how to divide different numbers for multiples of two into equal halves.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify, calculate and record how to divide different shapes, quantities and numbers to illustrate the fractions of halves and quarters. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
