Designed to be completed in pairs or small groups, this Year 2 Doubles and Near Doubles Discussion Problem challenges pupils to work out the scores a group of children would get by throwing balls into buckets.

To be confident with this resource, children should have a sound understanding of doubling and using doubles to find near doubles, whilst also applying trial and error skills before finding the end result.

This activity is perfect to use following our varied fluency and reasoning and problem resources for the same step, and we've added an answer page to aid discussion and support children in finding their final solution. Get downloading!
