Each group was given some plasticine and cooking cutters.  Each member of the group had to divide his/her shape in half.  The students pointed out that both halves had to be of the same size and when they were once put together they made one whole.  Some students also realized that when the halves of the shapes are halved again they become quarters.  Then, each group had to cut the given paper shapes in half and glue them on their copybooks.

In another lesson, in groups, students had to tick whether the pictures of the given real life objects were divided in half.  They also had to divide other real life objects in half and draw an object/thing and hen divide it in half as well.  Students also did similar activities on the IWB.
