Doubling and halving numbers
This week the children were understanding what it means to ‘double’ a number. Then learning doubles of numbers up to 20 through songs, games and activities, including finger painting!
For example, the children were learning that 6+6 is the same as double 6 and that the answer to both was 12. They then worked out the inverse to show what happens when you half the number, e.g. 12-6=6.
Here are some fun websites for you to continue exploring at home:
