Domino Doubles

Domino Doubles is a simple FREE interactive whiteboard game (IWB) to support the development of children’s early number knowledge of doubles within ten. Children are invited to subitise (see the number of spots on one side of the domino - amounts within five) and then calculate what would be double the amount shown. Children are invited to show the answer with their fingers or may wish to draw and calculate the double using their small white boards. The teacher or child can then click on the matching symbolic number card to reveal the correct answer. This game aligns well with WhiteRose Maths EYFS and Year 1 Units (though is not approved or endorsed by WRM) and supports doubling skills within 10. It may also work well with spot on number resources, but again is not approved or endorsed by Spot on with Number.

This interactive maths game can be used to introduce doubling and uses regular domino patterns. It can be an ideal introduction to doubling and further independent maths investigation, exploring regular and irregular domino patterns and doubling amounts within ten. For example, during independent learning children can begin to create and design their own doubling domino arrangements. This game is easily editable and 22 slides in length.

This maths game can be played as part of whole class teaching and learning and or during small-group and or 1-1 adult-led teaching and learning sessions. It could also be used to assess whether children are able to confidently recognise and calculate their doubles within ten.
