Dan and Pip have only one sandwich, and they both want to share it.
Dan carefully cuts the sandwich right down the middle. Now there are two parts, and the parts are exactly the same size. Each of those parts is called a half.

If two parts are not the same size, they cannot be halves. Halves must always be equal.
