This week we have been learning how to double numbers.

If we double 6, we can add 6+6 or multiply it by 2 (6 x 2).

It can be a little trickier with 2 digit numbers so we split the number up.

Example

43                                                         37

40      3                                            30           7

80      6                                           60           14     (60 + 10 + 4)

86                                                         74

For homework, they have been given a game to play.  They chose which level they wanted – green (easiest), yellow and red (hardest).  I have sent out 2 games each page so that they can play it once timing how fast it took and then play again trying to beat the time.

I have also put the games here on the blog so that they can more times to beat their times or try the harder or easier versions if they wish.

Enjoy!

As well as the High Frequency Word lists that I sent home last week, you can try and learn these too.

This week we used a new strategy to help us called Vowel Circle.  Write the words and then circle the vowels (a, e, i, o , u).  You can use the strategy from the week before (colourful writing) or Look, cover, write check (see picture below the eigh words).

For those of you who want to, we looked at ai words the week before.  Here are these words if you want to learn them at home too.
