Adding Activities

To practice basic math facts, each student found a partner.  Each partner 

flips a card, the cards are added together and a number sentence is recorded.  

8+7=15

The next activity was an activity to help show their learning about

adding doubles.  Each student built a 'train' of the same number in a different

colour (ex. both kids built a 4 block train, one red, the other blue).  When 

the trains are joined together you can see each number individually

and you can add them together.

Knowing the doubles facts can make it easier to learn other facts....'doubles

plus one' and 'near doubles' are two strategies that we will be working on soon.

Knowing the Doubles Facts will help dramatically!!!

Write the doubles facts on flashcards with the answer on the back and quiz yourself!

1+1=2

2+2=4

3+3=6

4+4=8

5+5=10

6+6=12

7+7=14

8+8=16

9+9=18

10+10=20

***NOTICE ALL OF THE DOUBLES ANSWERS ARE EVEN NUMBERS***
