Teaching Fractions: Halves with Year 1 KS1 Maths Activities

The National Curriculum for Year 1 Number: Fractions requires students to recognise, find, and name a half as one of two equal parts of an object, shape, or quantity. Our Fractions Halves resource addresses this requirement directly, helping students connect the concept of half to equal sharing, grouping, and measurement. Activities range from visual identification to practical problems, giving students a thorough and multi-context understanding of halves.
