Exploring Halves in Mathematics

The video tutorial introduces the concept of halves, explaining that halves are two equal parts of a whole. The teacher guides students through activities such as coloring one half of various shapes and identifying which shapes are divided into halves. Students also learn to partition shapes into halves using straight lines. The lesson concludes with a coloring activity to reinforce the concept of halves.
