The year 3.2 students were divided in groups and given interlocking cubes to make doubles of numbers from one to twelve.  Then, they had to write the answers on their mini whiteboards. By using the cubes all students had the same opportunity to learn.  When doing this activity pupils came to the conclusion that double is the same as when you multiply a number by two. 

To rehearse what the students had learned during the previous lesson they played the Slides and Ladders game. First, they rolled a die and using a marker moved that many spaces.  When they reached their box they had to work their sum (doubles).  Their peers had to check if they’re correct, if not they had to move back.  Students enjoyed going up the ladder but not going down the slide!!
