This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to explain and model how to divide some different numbers of wild animals that live in zoo to twenty into their matching equivalent halves.
The class can practise completing example sentences to record how they have shared concrete equipment into two equal halves to show the identified numbers of zoo animals.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explain and model how to divide some different numbers of wild animals that live in zoo to twenty into their matching equivalent halves
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of cards to practise using concrete equipment and diagrams to model how to divide numbers of objects to twenty into half and a template to identify and record how to divide different numbers of objects to twenty into half.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record how to divide different numbers of zoo animals to twenty into 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.
