This activity is all about recognising halves.

The shapes below have half shaded because the shaded part and the non-shaded part are equal.

Each shape has been split into two equal parts and one part is shaded.

The shapes below have a part shaded but it is not a half because the shaded part and the non-shaded part are not equal.

Each shape has been split into two parts and one part is shaded, but the parts are not equal, so they are not halves.

Does that make sense?

Great - let's move on to the questions now.
