Double Trouble!

In P1 we have been learning about doubles.  We spoke about when we hear the word double - double doors, double buggy and double decker.

We looked at dominoes and spoke about what it means when you have a double domino.  We discovered it means it has the same number of dots on both sides.

We all took a number card and had to make two sticks with that many cubes - a double!  We counted up all the cubes to find what the total was.  We discovered you can double any number but the result is always numbers with a 2,4,6,8 or 0 and it misses numbers on the number line.

We played a good game where you had to roll a dice and either add one, take away one or double the number of counters you had!  Some people had lots and lots of counters.
