This morning in maths we were learning how to double. When you double something you make it twice as big. We were doubling numbers and had to remember to add the same amount again. First we practised using ourselves! If we had one child and we wanted to double it, we added one more. So double 1 is 2. Then we doubled 2 children - we added 2 more and found out that double 2 is 4. Summer used children in the group to work out double 3. She chose 3 children to stand up first, then another 3. She counted them and told us that double 3 is 6 - well done Summer!
Then we were exploring doubles using spots on a ladybird. We all had a special ladybird picture and some counters which we used to work out doubles. If we were finding out double 4 we had to put 4 ladybird spots on one side and then 4 on the other side. Then we had to count the total to find the answer.
We enjoyed using our ladybirds to find doubles and will be practising finding doubles throughout the week!
