Before you play

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Split even numbers up to 10 into two equal parts, and see that an odd number cannot be halved into two equal whole numbers, using what children know about doubles.

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options each - Half of 4 is 2 - Half of 6 is 3, because 3 + 3 = 6 - Half of 10 is 5 - Which cannot be split into two equal halves (6, 7, 8): 7 - Half of 2 is 1

How to use it in class

Use once children know doubles such as 3 + 3 and 4 + 4. About 5 minutes. - Before playing, children share 8 counters fairly between two friends - Play solo with counters allowed on every question - If many miss question 5, try sharing 7 real counters; one is always left over - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.

Common sticking points

- In question 6, choosing 2, thinking half of 2 is the same two pieces, or choosing 0 - In question 3, choosing 5 or 3 from a slip when halving - In question 5, choosing 6 or 8 because cannot be split equally is not understood
