MAE-GM-03 is an outcome from the NESA Mathematics K-10 Syllabus (2022), taught in NSW schools. Because Early Stage 1 is the Kindergarten year, the worksheets below come from Foundation. Print them as PDFs, or generate a fresh one. Every maths answer key is computed in code, so it is never wrong.

Teaching guide

What students learn

Finds half of a length and locates the halfway point.

How to teach it

Compare objects directly (line them up at one end) and by measuring with informal units, blocks or paperclips placed end to end with no gaps, then compare the counts.

Worked example
The shoe is 4 blocks long. The straw is 2 blocks long. Which is longer?
Answer: shoe

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Not starting both objects from the same line, and leaving gaps or overlaps between informal units so the count is off.
