Halves and Quarters

This week in maths, we have been looking at how we can find halves and quarters of shapes. We first experimented with play dough, splitting them equally in half and then into quarters. We now know that half means 2 equal pieces and that quarters are 4 equal pieces. 

We then experimented finding halves and quarters using bread and thought about the different ways we might cut our sandwiches.
