Today, I will use the doubles strategy and the doubles plus 1 strategy to make easier and known sums.
Vocabulary
Teacher Resources
Doubles fact: an equation where both addends are the same. 2+2=4 Doubles plus one: when you add consecutive numbers, you can use the sum of the double and add one more.
Break apart to make a doubles + 1
2+3= 2+3= 2+3=
2+2+1 4+1 5
Considerations: This strategy is most effective when students have already memorized their doubles facts. If needed as a scaffold, students may use counters to help them solve. Math vocabulary is provided in the Student Journal.
Steps: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Identify the doubles and add + 1. Add the doubles fact. Add one to the doubles fact. Record the sum.
Application of MPs: MP1: Add the doubles
What did you do first?
MP6: How can you use the math vocabulary in your explanation? MP7: Is there another way to see the problem?
/ *MP1: Make sense of the problem and persevere in solving it! *MP8: Find a strategy to help solve the problem. Directions: Solve the doubles fact. Use the doubles to solve the doubles plus one fact.
1.
4+4= 4+5= 4+5= 4+5=
2.
6+6= 6+7= 6+7= 6+7=
MP1: What did you do first? MP6: How can you use the math vocabulary in your explanation?
Directions: Listen to the word problem. Fill out the following table to find the sum.
1. Lin’s mom gave her 4 stickers. Her dad gave her 5 stickers. How many stickers does she have now?
2. Richard and Miguel each had 6 toy trucks. Miguel found 1 more. How many toy trucks do they have all together?
4+5= 4+5= 4+5=
6+7= 6+7= 6+7=
*MP3: Do you agree/disagree with what
said?
*MP6: How do you know your answers are correct/reasonable?
Recap today’s lesson with one or more of the following MP questions: MP1: What did you do first? MP6: How can you use the math vocabulary in your explanation? MP7: Is there another way to see the problem?
