Find the missing doubles or halves

Halving to subtract.

If you know your halves and doubles, you can sometimes use them to add or subtract. Examples:

Now try these:

340 – 176 145 + 148 900 – 452

Study the ways.

256 children each get a Christmas present. Half get dolls and half get cars. How many get cars?

Way 1 Way 2

256 = 200 + 50 + 6

Half of 200 is 100

Half of 50 is 25

Half of 6 is 3

100 + 25 + 3 = 128

Half of 256 is 128

So 128 get cars.

Half of 250 = 125

Half of 6 is 3

125 + 3 = 128

Half of 256 is 128,

So 128 get cars.
