Today in Maths, we have been learning about Multiplication. We have discussed what we already know and made links from the 2x table with addition to make doubles.

We have improved our mental agility playing ‘Doubles to 10’ and ‘Doubles to 15’ using Topmarks. We have identified the tricky doubles and can say how a strategy helps us to find the answer accurately.

For e.g. a mental strategy for Double 9 = 10  +  10 = 20. 20 – 2 = 18.

Also, a mental strategy for Double 15 = 10 + 10 = 20. 5 + 5 = 10.

20 + 10 = 30. Our next step is ‘Doubles to 20.’

We have identified the number patterns in the 2x table and can say how 2x something is the same as ‘doubling’ the given digit (or repeated addition) . It was great fun playing in teams!

Why not have a go and try and beat our class score? Or try at home to beat an adult! 😉
