Today we will be making doubles.
Parents
Children explore doubling with numbers up to 20.
Reinforce understanding that ‘double’ is two groups of a number or an amount.
Children show and explain what doubling means using concrete and pictorial representations.
They record doubling using the sentence, ‘Double ___ is ____’ and use repeated addition to represent doubles in the abstract.
They look at representations to decide whether that shows doubling or not.
