You can also multiply by 2 to help you double numbers.
8 x 2 = 16

Halving is about sharing objects into 2 groups with the same amount.
16 cars = 8 cars + 8 cars

Why not set up a tuck shop!
Give your child £1 ( or whatever amount you want) a day to spend.They have to come and choose their snack and pay for it. This will give them chance to use real life money skills at home.
You can cater the activity to the age of your child.
