Max Maths, Year 3, Game Time, Halving and doubling odd and even numbers

In the dynamic and educational game "Game Time" from Max Maths for Year 3 students, children get to practice their doubling and halving skills with numbers up to 50. The game requires the class to form two lines at the front of the room, creating an energetic atmosphere for a mathematical challenge. The teacher calls out a number to the pair at the front of each line, and the race is on! The first student to correctly double the number is rewarded by moving to the back of the line, ready for another round, while their counterpart takes a seat, having been knocked out of the competition.

The excitement continues as each subsequent pair vies to be the quickest at doubling the given number, with the anticipation building as the line gets shorter. The game isn't just about speed though; it's a fantastic way for children to sharpen their mental arithmetic and reinforce their understanding of even and odd numbers in a fun, competitive setting. For a twist, the game can also be played by halving numbers, adding variety and ensuring that students become equally proficient at both operations. The last student standing, having out-doubled or out-halved their classmates, earns the title of the Doubling Champion, a testament to their quick thinking and number skills.
