Fascinating Fact:

Colour half of a rectangle. Check both coloured and uncoloured parts are equal.

In KS1 Maths, a fraction shows equal parts of a whole. A half is one of two equal parts, written as 1/2. Practise fair sharing and quick splits, then try our Division Game to see how halving links to sharing into two equal groups.

Key Terms

  • Fraction: A way to show equal parts of a whole, like halves or quarters.
  • Half (1/2): One of two equal parts of a shape, set, or number.
  • Equal parts: Parts that are exactly the same size or amount.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is a half in Year 1 maths?

A half is one of two equal parts. If a pizza is cut into two same-size pieces, each piece is a half.

How do I check if I have coloured half a shape?

Fold or imagine a fold down the middle. If the coloured and uncoloured parts match exactly, you have coloured a half.

Can I find half of a number in Year 1?

Yes. Share the items into two equal groups. If each group has the same amount, that amount is half of the number.
