About Year 1 Half Worksheets
Is your child just starting to learn about fractions? These free Year 1 halves worksheets are the perfect introduction. Learning to find half of a shape, object, or number is one of the first fraction skills in the national curriculum, and these worksheets make it clear and visual.
Over five daily worksheets, your child will explore what 'half' means through folding shapes, sharing equally, and dividing quantities into two equal parts. The worksheets use pictures of cakes, pizzas, groups of objects, and shapes to make halving tangible and fun. By the end of the week, your child will confidently find half of shapes and small numbers.
