All children should be able to:
Recognise that doubles are twice the size (x2).
Learn key words
Most Children should be able to:
Use their knowledge of number bonds to ten (such as 5 + 5) to recognise simple doubles.
To use knowledge of doubles to calculate near doubles (a number +1)
Some Children should be able to:
Use near double knowledge to calculate near doubles (a number +2)
Use number cards 1- 10 to make double the amount using unifix cubes
Near doubles use the idea that if you know that 5 + 5 = 10 (a number bond) then 5 + 4 = 9 because 4 is one less than 5.
Extension:
Use cubes to show the working out of a range of new near double sums.
Key Words
