• VC2M2N03

  recognise and describe one-half as one of 2 equal parts of a whole and connect halves, quarters and eighths through repeated halving

  Elaborations

  • creating halves of a range of collections sets by sharing collections into 2 equal groups; for example, comparing half of a set of 12 washers with half of a set of 8 bolts to identify how they both represent one-half of their respective set
  • creating halves using measurement attributes – for example, explaining that ‘a half is one part out of 2 equal parts of a whole’; equally folding a strip of paper, dividing a lump of playdough or separating a cup of water into 2 equal parts, and then selecting one of the parts and naming it ‘one-half’; or comparing half of a collection of 10 counters with half of a shape or object and explaining how each shows one-half of the respective whole
  • using repeated halving to subdivide shapes and objects in different ways to make corresponding halves, quarters and eighths; naming the parts and comparing the size of them to notice that they are all the same size; and demonstrating that a quarter is a half of a half and that an eighth is a half of a quarter
  • dividing a shape into equal parts and relating the number of parts to the unit fraction; for example, if there are 4 equal parts then each part is one-quarter and if there are 8 equal parts then each is one-eighth
