Doubles fill
Duration: 8:03
How to play 'Doubles fill'
Players take turns to spin the 9 spinner (or roll dice) and spin the doubles fill spinner.
If a player spins a 6 and spins ‘double’, they would need to double 6 (to make 12). Always explain your thinking to your partner who records the number sentence.
The player then colours in a corresponding array.
Players then swap roles.
If there is no space on the grid, players miss a turn.
Play continues until no one is able to add another array.
Players then calculate the number of squares they covered and the person with the largest area is the winner.
If someone in your family is playing 'Multiplication toss', you can also play that too! You could also play 'Handfuls: thinking multiplicatively'.
