As part of our learning on halves in maths, we practised halving play dough. Then we showed how to halve shapes using Hama beads. Finally we halved some cakes and ate one half in the maths lesson and one half at break time - yum yum! How many pieces of the shape will you have if you halve it? Can you half an apple, a banana or a pear at home?
On the next day, we investigated quartering shapes including a square and rectangle. We then used our findings to quarter a jam sandwich and share it between four people.
Can you quarter a circle? How many parts do you fold it into?
Can you halve a triangle. How many parts do you fold it into?
