Let’s solve each part step by step. We’re finding “half” of each group — that means splitting the total number into two equal parts and taking one part.

1. Ice cream cones:
There are 4 ice cream cones.
Half of 4 is 2 (because 2 + 2 = 4).
→ Half of
4 is
2.
---
2. Hearts:
Count the hearts: 3 rows × 4 columns = 12 hearts.
Half of 12 is 6 (because 6 + 6 = 12).
→ Half of
12 is
6.
---
3. Rabbits:
Count the rabbits: 2 rows × 5 rabbits = 10 rabbits.
Half of 10 is 5 (because 5 + 5 = 10).
→ Half of
10 is
5.
---
4. Slices of pizza:
Count the slices: 2 rows × 3 slices = 6 slices.
Half of 6 is 3 (because 3 + 3 = 6).
→ Half of
6 is
3.
---
5. Apples:
Count the apples: 2 rows × 4 apples = 8 apples.
Half of 8 is 4 (because 4 + 4 = 8).
→ Half of
8 is
4.
---
6. Backpacks:
There are 2 backpacks.
Half of 2 is 1 (because 1 + 1 = 2).
→ Half of
2 is
1.

Challenge: Can you find half of 7?
Half of 7 is not a whole number. It’s 3.5, or 3 and a half.
But since we’re dealing with objects (like cones, hearts, etc.), we can’t split them perfectly in half here — so this is just a thinking challenge!
→ Half of
7 is
3.5 (or 3½).

- Ice cream cones: There are
4. Half of
4 is
2.
- Hearts: There are
12. Half of
12 is
6.
- Rabbits: There are
10. Half of
10 is
5.
- Pizza slices: There are
6. Half of
6 is
3.
- Apples: There are
8. Half of
8 is
4.
- Backpacks: There are
2. Half of
2 is
1.
- Challenge: Half of
7 is
3.5.
