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
100 + 25 + 3 = 128
So 128 get cars. |
125 + 3 = 128
So 128 get cars. |
