Here is what kindergarten students are required to know (taken from the TEKS):
Students will recognize that there are quantities less than a whole. They will share a whole by separating it into two equal parts. They will explain why a given part is one-half of the whole. Students will display math concepts using concrete models in problem solving situations connected to everyday experiences.
1. What is equal sharing?
2. How can you tell that the parts are equal?
3. How can you separate a whole into two equal parts?
4. Why is each part a half?

4. Why is each part a half?
We're taking it a bit further. I'll be introducing quarters as well as halves, and the mathematical symbols for each. We will also learn how to divide groups into equal shares, for example: How can 4 friends share 8 cookies?
