Love this! Doubling is a key foundational concept in maths. It can be tricky, especially for learners with dyscalculia. Lots of great ideas in this video for using concrete and pictorial representations to aid understanding 🤩
Our brand new Dyscalculia series! #DecodingDyscalculia The first video looks at Doubling. Check it out here https://t.co/ds1WB8obAr

We completely agree! Concrete representations are the keys to unlock abstract mathematical concepts! YES...EVEN IN KS3!!
Why do representations matter in secondary maths? 🤷 They’re not a crutch, they’re a window into abstract ideas 🚀 📹 See how Representation & Structure links to all of the Five Big Ideas in our latest video

Interesting...Met someone today who told me he sees maths as pictures in his head and his wife sees digits 0-9 as colours! Never heard that before! Anyone else see #maths like that!?

Great to see @hkettlemaths and Bullseye maths on @BBCBreakfast highlighting the importance of changing a negative mindset and resistance towards maths. Using short & fun tasks, games & activities in the classroom enthuse & engage pupils whilst developing their numeracy skills
