Maths – doubles and halves
Let’s warm our brains up with a doubling song!
You have been learning a lot about doubling and halving. Below are links to halving and doubling stories.
Play a game with your families! Adults, prepare some real and fake doubles and halving facts on sticky notes or scrap pieces of paper to stick around your house or outside.
They might include…
double 5 is 10
half of 8 is 4
double 2 is 5
double 1 is 2
half of 4 is 1
double 6 is 13
Make sure that your children are familiar with the words double and half. Let the children explore the room/outside area, find the sticky notes and bring them back to you when they are found. Once you have them, help the children to read what they say and then work out together using objects and number sentences if they are true or false statements. Make a pile of true statements and false statements. You can create as many of your own as you like, adding to the list above or making your own. Have fun!
Leo loves all the double and halving games this week! But he is absolutely petrified of the Numberjacks…! 🙂
He really misses all his friends and is super happy to see them on here or on the assembly videos x
I’m so sorry to hear he doesn’t enjoy Numberjacks. Try Numberblocks as an alternative. We’ve watched episodes in the classroom together. I love seeing how engaged he is with the maths learning on EExAT. Keep up the good work Leo! Have a good weekend. X
Thanks Mrs Bracey for some more great ideas, the videos worked a treat for Edith! Especially numberjacks, sorry Leo!! 😬 Have a great bank holiday weekend..
Great to hear. I really enjoyed listening to Edith reading on EExAT, thank you. Have a great weekend. X
