Doubling Teen Numbers - Maths Game

This interactive Doubling Teen Numbers board game is designed to reinforce mental maths skills by focusing on the doubling of numbers 11–19. Students roll a die, move spaces, and answer doubling challenges, while navigating fun game elements such as "Miss a Turn" and "Swap Places."


Ideal for numeracy rotations, partner activities, or fast finishers, this game builds fluency and number sense in an engaging, competitive format.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to add and subtract numbers within 20, using a variety of strategies, e.g. counting on, counting back, partitioning, subitising and part-part whole knowledge of numbers to 10 and to use the language of 'plus' and 'minus' in story problems.
  • We are learning to add and subtract one- and two-digit numbers, using a variety of strategies, e.g. partitioning, doubles, near doubles, bridging to 10 and rearranging and regrouping of numbers.
  • We are learning to recall addition facts to 20 and apply to related subtraction facts using a range of strategies.
  • We are learning to use a range of strategies, to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
  • We are learning to solve problems by using number sentences for addition or subtraction.
  • We are learning to use a range of mental and written strategies to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
  • We are learning to explore number sequences by twos, threes, fives and tens from any starting point.
  • We are learning to use a range of mental strategies to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.

Differentiation

Modifications

  • Use visual counters or number lines for additional support
  • Replace die with spinner for finer number control
  • Add a reflection question after each turn: “What is double ___?”

Extensions

  • Have students write matching number sentences after each move
  • Turn the game into a timed challenge for fluency practice
  • Use as a warm-up before explicit teaching on multiplication
