We started to talk about doubles in school and used dominoes to explore doubles and not doubles. Listen to the Doubles Rap (1-5) to warm up your maths brains – Double Rap.
If you have your own set of dominoes at home, have a game with your family. Be sure to check the learning pack for more fun ideas to practise doubling. Use a mirror to double or a see the picture below for ways to get creative. You can use a muffin tin and anything small to help with the calculations. If you have any dice at home ask your child how to play DOUBLE BUBBLE! (You both roll a dice, so you’ll need two, and if you land on the same amount of dots you shout ‘DOUBLE BUBBLE’ and then call out what the double calculation is).
