Double Trouble!

In math that is!  Today we started working on some more addition strategies.  Doubles facts to be exact!  Doubles facts are basic math facts that add the same number.  In class we discussed things that come in doubles, ears, feet and hands just to name a few!  We also talked about how the sum of a doubles fact will always be an even number.  Here is a look at what we did:

 

Students spun a number, then their partner built that number and its double to create a doubles fact.  Next, they both wrote the fact then switched roles.  For independent practice, students drew the matching dots to create a doubles fact, then solved.
