Main Lesson - Today we are going to learn about fractions.
Find an object in your house that a grown u doesn't mind you cutting up. Food items are usually good like an apple or a slice of bread.
I want you to cut your item straight down the middle!
You have cut a whole object into 2 halves! Each piece is called 1 half.
