Lesson Two – Shape Halves

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to practise identifying and recording how to divide a selection of different 2D shapes into their two equivalent halves so that each half is identical.
The class can select and illustrate the other half of some different examples of shapes that have already been divided into half so that they can be combined to reform each of the shapes.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise identifying and recording how to divide a selection of different 2D shapes into their two equivalent halves so that each half is identical
Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet for core and extension ability levels to record how to divide a selection of different 2D shapes into their two equivalent halves and a set of cards for support ability levels to match how to combine pairs of halves to reform some original shapes.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record how to divide a selection of different 2D shapes 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.
