Maths
Today’s focus in maths is doubling and halving. Doubling is adding the same number together twice eg.
Double 6 = 6 + 6 = 12 6 x 2 = 12
Halving is the inverse so we divide by 2
Halve of 12 = 12 ÷ 2 =6
Look at the ppt points below and have a go at one or two of the challenges attached.
Then test yourself on the Game Hit the Button Doubling and Halving.
