Today we have been learning how to use a new maths strategy doubling and halving. You may ask what is halving and doubling? It is a strategy to solve multiplication equations such as a question like 25 x 16.
First you choose what number to double.
25 x 2 = 50
Then you halve the other number.
16 divided by 2 = 8
Now our new equation is
50 x 8 =
You can keep doing this..
100 x 4 = 400
It make the multiplication so much easier.
Have you ever you used this maths strategy.
