Fractions - Find a half - Worksheet

In this engaging worksheet series, children advance their understanding of fractions by focusing on finding and recognising halves of various shapes. The worksheets are designed to help children visualise and identify one half by providing images of shapes that are already divided by a line. The task for the students is to colour in one half of each shape to reinforce their recognition of halves. Additionally, they are encouraged to match different halves together to form complete shapes, starting with three simple shapes and progressing to more complex ones with five or six parts to match.

The worksheets also incorporate reasoning and problem-solving activities to deepen the students' comprehension of the concept. Children are presented with whole shapes without dividing lines, and they must determine where the half is, colour it in, and then match halves to complete a set of five shapes. To further challenge their understanding, they are given shapes to show halves in various ways, exploring the versatility of the concept. The reasoning section asks them to identify which shapes have been correctly shaded in half and to explain their reasoning. They also assess statements about the shading of shapes, using ticks and crosses to indicate correctness. These exercises aim to develop fluency, precision, and analytical skills in recognising and working with halves.
