This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to investigate how to divide and record a range of food shapes that can be used for different meals into matching two equivalent halves.

The class can select and model how to divide some picture illustrations of different types of food into two equal groups so that the halves of each shape are equivalent and identical.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to investigate how to divide and record a range of food shapes that can be used for different meals into matching two equivalent halves

Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to record how to divide a range of food shapes into their two equivalent halves and a template to select and illustrate how to divide some foods that can be eaten for different meals correctly into half.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to divide a range of food shapes used for different meals into their two equivalent 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.
