Week 5 Maths Problem - Fractions

 Happy Halves

Each of these images shows squares split in half. How can you check that each is correct? How can you convince someone that each is split in half?


What does it mean to split a square in half? What needs to be true in order for it to be half? Think of another way to split a square into two halves.

Make your own design that splits a square in half.  


Extensions: Make a design that is ¼ of the square. Convince your partner that they have one quarter of the square.


Have fun working this problem with your whanau and share your solutions here.
