Maths - Doubling

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. 

Can anyone see a pattern?


Collaborating to build the models.

We can learn from each other.


Patterns become real when we build them with tiles.

Recording understanding is a vital process in learning.
