Homeschool Math

I was teaching Levi today what 1/2 of 17 was and it looked like this:
Me-"say we had 17 balls (drew a picture) and you and I both got equal amounts of them. How many would I get?"
Levi-"eight"
Me-"well, now you'd have nine."
Levi-"well, I'll have eight too."
Me-"see this extra one? What do we do with it?"
Levi-"throw it away,"
