Doubles

Room 10 is getting very good at identifying and mentally adding doubles together. We started by holding up 3 fingers on one hand, then mirrored that number on the other hand before adding them together. We practised saying the sentence double 3 is 6 before trying all numbers between 1 and 5.

We practised our double facts by learning the doubles rap

                                            

and watching a video of doubles number sentences

Finally to see if everyone had understood the concept we created doubles ladybirds. We each selected a number of dots for one wing and double the number on the other.

Next we will be looking at doubles plus 1 and doubles plus 2. This will help the students add groups together mentally rather than counting each group by 1's.
