Maths

This week we are going to be thinking about halving.  This means sharing an object or number into 2 equal parts.

You can practice finding half in lots of different ways.  How could you cut a piece of bread or toast in half?  You could make 2 rectangles or 2 triangles of the same size.  

Count out an even number of objects for you child

Ask your child to share them equally between 2 plates.  How many in each half? 

  (Even numbers are 2,4,6,8,10...)

Ask a grown up to draw you some ladybirds without any spots to to do the activity below.  The second page is more of a challenge.

If you have some dominoes can you sort out the ones which have the same number on each half of the domino?

Here are some word problems- ask an adult to read them to you then use objects to find the answer.
