Start by giving your child 4 items and say that we need to share these between 3 people (could be family members or teddy bears/dolls) so that you all have the same. See what your child does with the fourth item, do they try and give it to one person making their groups unequal or do they try to split the item into 3?

Increase the number if items and try splitting them into 4 equal groups. When using a higher amount of items can your child count in 2s to move the items into the different groups?

This week we are going to be looking halving and sharing. We will begin by sharing into two equal groups and looking at fair and unfair sharing.

For today we are going to be using physical resources, you could choose toys or items of food. Start by giving your child 4 items and say that we need to share these between 2 people (could be you and your child or your child and a sibling) so that you both have the same. See if they can equally share the items into the two groups. Increase the number of items you give and then progress to giving your child an odd number of items. Can they share these equally? What could we do with the spare item? If it is a food item or something like playdough they may suggest breaking it apart to give each person half of the item.

Year 1
