Y1 Mathematics: Finding Half

30th Sep 2022

We have been working hard to consolidate our understanding of how to find half of any amount. 

We used:

  • ladybird pictures;
  • our part part whole mats; and
  • objects

to share objects equally. 

We also learned that half is the 'inverse' of double e.g. half of 8 is 4 and double 4 is 8.
