Fascinating Fact:

Ten-frame halves: fill 10, split the frame into two rows. Each row is 5, so half of 10 is 5.

In KS1 Maths, pupils use pictures, objects, and ten-frames to find halves and quarters. They share sets into equal parts, read simple fractions, and explain answers using clear counting.

  • Whole: All of something, with no pieces missing.
  • Half (½): One of two equal parts of a whole.
  • Quarter (¼): One of four equal parts of a whole.
What is a fraction for Year 2?

A fraction shows equal parts of a whole. For example, ½ is one of two equal parts, and ¼ is one of four equal parts.

How do I find half of a number up to 10?

Share the number into two equal groups or use a ten-frame. For 10, split into two rows of 5, so half of 10 is 5.

What does a quarter mean in simple terms?

A quarter means one out of four equal parts. If 8 biscuits are shared fairly into four groups, each group has 2.
