Doubling numbers is a key mental computation strategy. Children investigated the patterns when we built doubling models. They then recorded these in their workbooks. If they don't know a double we encourage breaking numbers into known parts. For example, double 7 is the same as double 5 plus double 2.

| We can learn from each other. |
| Patterns become real when we build them with tiles. |

| Recording understanding is a vital process in learning. |
