How to Find the Halfway Point

The whole numbers that are between 7 and 13 are: 8, 9, 10, 11 and, 12.

The difference between 13 and 7 is 6.

Half the difference is 3. 6 divided by 2=3

The number 10 is halfway between 7 and 13.

To find this out you can either add half the difference to the smaller number or subtract half the difference from the larger number.


The second way is to use a number line.



The third way is to add both of the numbers together and divide the sum by two. 13+7=20 20 divided by 2=10




1.) a. What are the whole numbers between 68 and 72? They are 69, 70, 71.
b. What are the whole numbers between 108.3 and 111.6? They are 109, 110, 111.


2.) a. What is the halfway point between 70 and 170? It is 120.
b. What is the halfway point between 1801 and 1813? It is 1807.
c. What is the halfway point between 18.4 and 6.2? It is 12.3

  3. Great scribe post, Emily! The link really helped me and I liked the picture that you put on to show the numberline. You should read the notes for how to do the blog so you can put the video on properly. Other than that, great job!

  5. Excellent post Emily! It was very neat and it help me understood finding the halfway point. There is nothing much I could say about this, except maybe you should list the homework we have just in case people forgot to write it down.

  6. Nice post Emily. I like how you used a different color in some important words. I agree with Marie, you should write down the homework for some people who weren't there. I think Nikki wasn't there, but other than that, great post.

  8. Great post Emily!! It really helped me learn about what you did in class because I was not there. But I think that you should have included what the Homework was for people who are away.

  9. Thanks for the helpful comments. For some reason when I tried to put the video in in the correct spot it wouldn't actually show the video so I had to put it as a link. Next time I post again I will try to put the homework on.

  11. Great post Emily! i like the way you changed couloer of the important words. it was really helpful. and it was spaced out perfectly and there were so many good sentacnes that you could pick to make/find for them you picked a good picture it was very helpful. your link isin't the best link because it is just the definition and not a site that would help me or anyone learn more you need a link that would teach someone something exept for the definition and we already learned that in class. also some other words that weren't hilighted could have been but i like your vidio even though it wasen't on the right setting (i know it is hard to do some of it) and like someother people said you should have put the homework on. but i really like your post it is great and if someone (who diden't know anything about "how to find the half point") they would learn everything they would need to know to do a test and ace it. oveerall great post emily!

  12. Sorry guys!! I didn't really know how to word the question for the homework but a asked someone and I understand it now.
    Here are the homework questions:
    1. Is 38 closer to 30 or 40?
    2. Is 3.4 closer to 6.6 or 0.6?
    3. Is 0.732 closer to 0.641 or 0.891?
    4. Is 78.22 closer to 77.77 or 78.68?

    Remember to explain your answer for all of these questions.

  17. Good job Emily,I liked the way you put the pictures and video to help us uderstand more about halfway points and how to find them. But I wished you put more space in your blog and thank you for puting our homework in the comment.Other then that everything was very well done.

  18. Emily, you did a good job on the blog only one thing you could do next time is instead of putting " REMEMBER TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK", You could have put the homework your self. Last thing was you put that you couldn't put the video instead of not putting a video at all But overall Everything was fine. Great Job!
