The Perfect Split - Maths Storybook Lesson for EYFS

Want to introduce and develop a deep understanding of division through equal sharing? This is 1 long or 2 shorter lessons with supporting resources to accompany the Maths picture book ‘The Perfect Split’ by Lori Haskins Houran. The lesson is designed with early learning / Pre-Kindergarten in mind - so beneath the lesson input on the plan you will find 4x activity task ideas to set up for guided play and exploration.

A fun, practical fusion of reading comprehension, Maths and independent investigation, the children will be super engaged with the fun story and the hands-on, practical related investigations. A fun way to introduce the concept; this lesson encourages the children to practise sharing equally and fairly, and invites them to notice which numbers share equally and which don’t (odd and even numbers). This lesson includes supporting resources found in most early learning classrooms (see below for details).

This pack contains:

• Detailed Maths lesson plan with 4 x practical activity ideas
• Key Comprehension Questions for read-aloud
• 7 x Printable worksheets/resources to accompany the activity ideas

Additional resources needed:

• The book ‘The Perfect Split’ by Lori Haskins Houran (FYI there are YouTube readings if budget is low!)
• Counters
• Pink and black colouring pencils, glue sticks, scissors
• Googly eyes
• Coloured beads and laces

*** ALSO AVAILABLE at a more challenging level for KS1 ***
