Maths - Wednesday 29th

Today’s maths focus is going to be sharing but still linking this to halving amounts. I have 2 butterflies that both need feeding fairly and i’ve chopped some celeary to feed them equally. WOW thats a lot of mathematical language. Just remember half and sharing.

Below is a step by step guide how to share between 2 (just like we’ve done in Robins). Can you check i’ve done it right and explain to someone why it is right?

Is this one shared in half or equally for the butterflies? Why not? Tell an adult where I’ve gone wrong.

So your task is to find 2 toys to share different objects between. You might want to share out food like mine or you might have beads or bricks that you can share between the different objects. You choose! Or you can have a go at my examples below…
