Maths

'Fractions - Understand what a half means'.

Number line game -  draw a large number line with whole numbers from 0 to 10 and play the following game with someone at home. 
Each person places a coin on zero to start. They take turns to toss a third coin, If it lands heads up, they move their coin along 1/2 (half) and say aloud the number landed on, eg, one half, or three and a half. If the coin lands tails up they move on 1 whole. The winner is the first player to reach or move beyond 10.

Extension - If you are comfortable with working with halves, try the same game with:

• quarters (1/4) or
• thirds (1/3).
