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.
