Half of an odd number, up to 25

Name:Date:

Odd numbers CAN be halved. The answer just has a half on the end.

1Worked example: half of 15

14 shares into 7 and 7. There is 1 left over. Cut it in half.
So half of 15 is 7 and a half.

2Your turn. Write the answer as a number and a half.

half of 9 =
half of 11 =
half of 13 =
half of 17 =
half of 19 =
half of 21 =
half of 23 =
half of 25 =
half of 7 =

3Odd or even? Circle it, then halve it.

16   ODD / EVEN   half =
21   ODD / EVEN   half =
10   ODD / EVEN   half =
19   ODD / EVEN   half =

4Draw it. Share 15 grapes between two plates. Show the one you cut.

5Explain. Someone says "you cannot halve 15." What would you tell them?

2. 4½, 5½, 6½, 8½, 9½, 10½, 11½, 12½, 3½   3. even 8, odd 10½, even 5, odd 9½
