What are halves?

A half is when you split something into two equal parts, just like splitting a sandwich or a toy between two friends.

Imagine you have one big cookie, and you want to share it with your best friend. You take a knife and cut the cookie right down the middle. Now you both have a half of the cookie. Each piece is exactly the same size, that’s what makes them halves!

If you have two halves, you can put them back together to make one whole again. Like when you and your friend eat your halves and then stick them together, poof, it's the cookie you started with!

Halves are everywhere in real life:

• A pizza cut into two slices
• A chocolate bar divided between two people
• Even a clock face, from 12 to 6 is one half of the circle

You don’t need any special tools or magic to make halves. Just a little splitting and sharing, and you’ve got yourself some fair parts to enjoy! A half is when you split something into two equal parts, just like splitting a sandwich or a toy between two friends.
