Lesson Five – Domino Halves

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to practise using concrete objects to investigate and model how to divide different numbers to twenty into two equivalent halves by working with dots displayed on dominoes.
The class can explain and record how to use diagrams to illustrate how they have divided each of the selected numbers into half by creating pictures of matching domino shapes.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise using concrete objects to investigate and model how to divide different numbers to twenty into two equivalent halves by working with dots displayed on dominoes
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify numbers that have been divided into half using domino shapes, a set of cards to select numbers to twenty to use when modelling how to find two halves and a template to record how numbers to twenty have been divided into half using pictorial diagrams.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to divide different numbers to twenty into two equivalent halves by working with dots displayed on dominoes.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify and record fractions that are halves of different shapes, quantities and numbers using concrete equipment and diagrams to model calculations. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
