We explored HALF using a variety of tools. We talked about how half is 2 equal parts, using the Guidecraft Fraction Cups. Then I had him cut the fruit/vegetable pieces in half from the Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Box. For snack we ate apples, and he cut them in half himself using a kidsafe pumpkin carving ‘knife’.
Great ideas for exploring fractions! The Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Box looks like a fun hands-on introduction to fractions! Thanks for linking up with Montessori Monday. I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow
