Understanding the concept of doubling and halving

Understanding the concept of doubling and halving
Start by matching your fingers to the value on a number card. Can you double the amount? Can you halve the amount?
You will need a 10 frame, 2 sets of number cards to 5 and 1 set of number cards to 10, 10 small counting objects and a part whole model.

Use the 10 frame to work out what a double of the number would be. Transfer to a part whole model. Say the sentence “One part is ____ and one part is _____. The whole is _____.”

If you are green standard then make sure you can say the sentence and then see if you can calculate by drawing circles to represent the objects.

This is a part whole model. You could draw your own.

Doubling and halving

In today’s lesson we will continue practising halving.

We will start by recapping doubling with our fingers and then halving the amount.

You will need a 10 frame, 10 objects in a container and numbers to 5.

Watch the video of the lesson.

Practice using the objects you have as bales of hay. Use 8 blocks and pretend they are hay. Explain that the cows need half and the sheep need half. What does that mean? How can we work it out?

Use the 10 frame to work out what a double would be. Then work out what half will be. 

If double 2 is 4 then half of 4 will be 2. If you are green standard you need to be able to say the sentence and work out with other numbers.
