Max Maths, Year 1, Work Book, Doubling and halving numbers

In the 'Max Maths, Year 1, Workbook', Practice 7 focuses on the fundamental concepts of doubling and halving numbers. The section begins with an exercise where students are encouraged to write number sentences for doubling. This involves adding the same number to itself, represented with blank spaces for the students to fill in the appropriate numbers, such as "1 + 1 =", "2 + 2 =", and so on. This simple yet effective method helps young learners understand the concept of doubling in a clear and interactive manner.

Moving forward, the workbook provides a hands-on activity where students are tasked with doubling single-digit numbers. Examples include "Double 4 =", "Double 7 =", and several others, where students calculate and write the answers. Next, the students are asked to visually halve sets of objects by drawing a circle around half of each set, enhancing their understanding of division and the concept of halves. Further exercises involve selecting the correct word to complete sentences about the properties of even and odd numbers, and a series of halving problems where students are asked to find half of given even numbers, ranging from "Half of 10 =" to "Half of 18 =". These activities are designed to build a solid foundation in basic arithmetic and number recognition for Year 1 students.
