Doubling In Second Grade

During math time, students have been working on solving doubles math facts (3 +3, 7 + 7).  Learning math math facts like doubles, helps students be more efficient and accurate when solving other math problems.  If students know 5 + 5 = 10 then 5 + 6 is just one more!  Second graders listened to the story Two of Everything by Lily Toy Hong which was about a magic doubling pot.  We also solved doubling story problems and played the game Double It which helped students become more automatic with their facts.

                               

Amazing teamwork!  Friends were helping each other double!

We learned that when you double a number it will ALWAYS equal an even number!!!
