Introduction to Halving

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A worksheet designed to help students use doubles facts to find half of given numbers. Designed for early years students.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the concept of halving as the inverse of doubling.
Use known doubles facts to determine half of a number.
Develop number sense and mental maths skills.

How the Activity Works:

Students are presented with numbers and use their knowledge of doubles to find halves (e.g., knowing that double 6 is 12 helps them determine that half of 12 is 6). This activity supports early mathematical thinking and reinforces the relationship between doubling and halving.
