Mrs Rowntree Fluency Program | Doubles | Years 2–6

Multiplicative Thinking Series

Mrs Rowntree Fluency Program: Doubles is a comprehensive 11-week mathematics program designed to develop fluency, strategy use and multiplicative thinking through engaging, differentiated routines. Develop efficient, flexible and confident mathematicians through one worthwhile mathematical routine.

The Mrs Rowntree Fluency Programs use one carefully designed mathematical routine to progressively develop mathematical thinking over time. Rather than relying on isolated worksheets or repetitive drills, students build understanding through repeated purposeful practice while making meaningful connections between strategies, patterns and mathematical ideas.

Designed for students in Years 2–6, this adaptable program can be used across the week as a whole-class fluency routine, warm-up, intervention program, small-group lesson or independent mathematics activity.

Mrs Rowntree Fluency Programs

Mrs Rowntree Fluency Programs use one worthwhile routine to develop mathematical thinking with an emphasis on:

• Efficiency
• Flexibility
• Automaticity with understanding
• Pattern recognition
• Strategy development
• Repeated purposeful practice

Students learn strategies they can transfer to increasingly complex mathematical situations, developing fluency that extends well beyond basic fact recall.

Mathematical Progression

Students progressively develop their understanding by learning to:

• Build and recognise doubles
• Double multiples of 10
• Partition and double two-digit numbers
• Double with regrouping
• Apply doubling to ×4
• Apply repeated doubling to ×8
• Double decimal numbers
• Double fractions
• Transfer doubling strategies to unfamiliar mathematical contexts

Supporting Mathematical Thinking

The accompanying presentation encourages students to:

• Explain and justify their thinking
• Reflect on strategies used
• Recognise mathematical patterns and connections

Differentiation

Every routine includes three levels of challenge to support responsive teaching.
