This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to identify and record how to divide different numbers of plants and flowers that are growing in pots to twenty into two matching equal halves.

The class can explain and model how to share concrete equipment when dividing different numbers into half to show the calculated fractions for each number of plants and flowers.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and record how to divide different numbers of plants and flowers that are growing in pots to twenty into two matching equal halves

Activities in this teaching pack include worksheets to select numbers to twenty for core and extension ability levels and to ten for support ability levels to model how to divide them into half by using concrete equipment and a set of cards to model how to divide the selected numbers into two equivalent halves.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record how to divide different numbers of flowers growing in pots to twenty into two equal halves.

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.
