Multiplication and division - Make doubles - Presentation

In an interactive and visually engaging presentation, students are invited to explore the concept of 'Making Doubles' within the context of multiplication and division. The lesson begins with a discussion prompt, encouraging students to recall their understanding of what 'double' means and to provide examples. This is followed by a series of activities designed to reinforce their knowledge. Activity 1 presents a selection of images, prompting students to identify which ones represent doubles and which do not. Through this visual exercise, students are encouraged to circle the representations that have been doubled, reinforcing the concept through visual recognition and repetition.

Further reinforcing the concept, Activity 2 introduces number shapes, where students are tasked with doubling numbers and completing sentences to demonstrate their understanding—such as doubling 7 to get 14. Activity 3 presents a table where students must build, represent, add, and record doubles, starting with simple numbers and progressing to more complex ones. The lesson also includes reasoning tasks, where students discuss patterns observed in doubling sequences and apply their knowledge to real-world examples, such as figuring out the number of doughnuts Rosie has after doubling them. Independent work challenges students to use physical equipment to build and represent doubles, further solidifying their grasp of the concept through hands-on learning and critical thinking exercises.
