Lesson details
Key learning points
- Halving facts to 10 can help to halve 2-digit numbers.
- To halve 2-digit numbers, partition the 2-digit number, halve the tens and the ones, then recombine.
Keywords
Double / Doubling - To become twice as many / to multiply by two.
Half / Halving - One of two equal parts of a whole. To divide into two equal parts.

Common misconception
Incorrectly partitioning and halving odd multiples of 10
Ensure children use representations where they are able to see the partitioning of the number into an even multiple of 10 and 10 more. That way, they can clearly see they are still finding half of 30 for example.
