18) Fluency Halves
Doubling and Halving to 10: Filling a Wall
Mathematics
Develop fluency with one half of the wholes 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
Language
- one half of
- equals as “is”
- double bond: a two-part bond, where both parts are the same
Differentiation
A little easier
Represent “one half of” with fingers
Support recall by using fingers to develop fluency with one half of a double bond.

Activity 59
Students who have completed up to Ten Plus Bonds: Addition and Subtraction Ten and One can complete a similar activity for wholes in the teens. Complete Activity 59 Doubling and Halving to 20: Fluency Halves Filling a Wall.
