Finding Half of a Number

While working with my second through sixth grade math students I have noticed that being able to mentally find half of an even number is pretty important. Now, finding half of a number that has two even numbers is easy, just find half of each number. For example half of 68 is 34 because half of 6 tens is 3 tens, and half of 8 ones is 4 ones. Try these examples. Let me know how you are doing.
