Halves - Year 1 Maths Unit

Build a clear understanding of halves with this Year 1 Mathematics unit. Students explore halves as two equal parts of a whole, compare equal and unequal splits, share objects and collections fairly, and explain their reasoning using accurate mathematical language.

The teaching sequence includes an editable 18-slide presentation and a 22-slide editable quiz with ten question-and-answer pairs. Colour displays, student reference cards and two games make the concept visible and hands-on. Five low-ink worksheets offer varied independent practice, including an open-ended real-world task and a challenge page. Matching red-answer pages, a ten-mark assessment and a five-level rubric support efficient review and marking.
