I can double numbers and explain what doubling means.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- When both addends are equal, we are doubling.
- Doubling means adding two equal addends.
- Doubling a whole number always gives an even number.
Common misconception
Children may struggle to see that a double is two of the same thing.
Spend time exploring doubles that can be found in the children's immediate environment e.g. using their hands or playing a game of dominoes.
Keywords
Double / doubling - To become twice as many.
Addends - Any of the numbers that are added together.
Equal - Exactly the same amount or value.
Begin by reviewing counting in even numbers to ten, forwards and backwards. Children should have had lots of practice of this and so should be fluent. As suggested, take time to explore doubles beyond the lesson, setting up opportunities to play games at break and lunch time for example.
