Arithmetic – Doubling and Halving numbers to 20

Below is an outline of how to develop doubling and halving skills:

Doubling

1. Write all the numbers from 1 – 10 in order.
2. Underneath these numbers, write what double that number is.

Extension Challenge

3. Write the numbers from 1 – 5 in order.
4. Next to these numbers, write what 10 x the number is, e.g. 1 – 10, 2 – 20, etc
5. Underneath each number, write what double that number is, e.g. double 1 is 2 so double 10 is 20. 

Halving

6. Count up in 2s from 0 – 20, e.g. 0, 2, 4, etc
7. Underneath these numbers, write what half that number is (look at your doubling pattern for help).

Extension Challenge

8. Count up in 2s from 0 – 10, e.g. 0, 2, 4, etc
9. Write the numbers from 2 – 10 in order.
10. Next to these numbers, write what 10 x the number is, e.g. 2 – 20, 4 – 40 etc
11. Underneath each number, write what half that number is, e.g. halve of 2 is 1 so halve of 20 is 10.

The tests will be on Friday 4th March.
