A PowerPoint which introduces the ‘Doubling-and-Halving Strategy for Multiplication’.
This PowerPoint uses an array to show the multiplication strategy of doubling one factor and halving the other factor to help to work out some multiplication problems. Doubling and halving is therefore related to thinking that ‘restructures’ an array to make it more manageable to multiply (e.g. 3 × 18 = ___ can be rewritten as 6 × 9 = ___).
Very visual resource which helps students see that the total number of circles in an array (the product) stays the same when an array is cut and rearranged.
No text: so recommend that the teacher walks through the first couple of example slides and then students verbally explain the following examples to their peers.
Order of animations:
Tricky array and sum is shown.
Confused smiley bounces in. (explain here that if you don’t know your 15 times table etc. this could be hard)
Scissors appear and cut the array - array restructures into simpler array (double of one factor/half of the other)
New corresponding sum appears - click & answer is shown
Array restructures to first formation and tricky sum is shown again
As the total number of circles has remained the same throughout the sequence the answer should be obvious :-)
I use it alongside other strategies so that it is presented as an option for mental computation involving multiplication.
Position, direction and movement, anti-clockwise, clockwise, fractions of turns
*Review clockwise and anti-clockwise turns by means of animated images of clocks and 11 other fun animated revolving images.
*Learn quarter, two-quarter/half, three-quarters and four-quarters/whole fractions of a circle
*simple following instruction game to review clockwise and anti-clockwise quarter, half, three-quarter and whole turns prior to or after watching a birds-eye animated image of a man standing on a divided circle making animated turns.
*In pairs practice turning a pencil clockwise and anti-clockwise quarter, half, three-quarter and whole turns prior to or after viewing an example.

One side has memorable clip-art images, reverse side has a word list of carefully selected example words.
Each side is laid out in the reverse order - so that when the clip-art side is printed and put back-to-back with the word list side the words are directly behind the image. This helps the learner to find the spelling pattern they are looking for as the mat is ‘flippable’.
