Food Halves

This numeracy teaching pack for the Foundation Stage gets the children to explore how to identify and complete halves of some different shaped foods that can be found in a family kitchen to form one whole shape.
The class can explain and model how they can show that two unequal parts of a shape are not halves and cannot be reformed to make one whole shape for each type of food.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore how to identify and complete halves of some different shaped foods that can be found in a family kitchen to form one whole shape
Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to identify and record pairs of halves for a range of shapes that can be combined into whole shapes and templates to select and complete the other half of some different shaped foods to form one whole shape.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to identify and complete halves of some different shaped foods to form one whole shape.
This lesson is part of a numeracy scheme of work to get the children to explain and model how to find and record the halves of some of the different objects that can be used at home and in school. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
