After reading a book and listening to a song about doubles, students will practice adding
doubles. Students will complete a worksheet on adding doubles with at least 4 out of 6 problems
correct.
ELA Standard: New York State Next Generation English Language Arts Learning
Standard- 1. SL. 2
Speaking and Listening Standards (Comprehension and Collaboration)
Key Ideas and Details (1. SL. 2)
Develop and answer questions about key details in diverse texts and formats.
Indicator: This will be evident when students ask and answer questions about key details
in the read aloud of “Two of Everything.”
INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES
A read aloud of the book “Two of Everything” by Lilly Toy Hong will be used as motivation to
hook the students and get them excited to learn about adding doubles.
DEVELOPMENTAL PROCEDURES
(including Key Questions)
1. Students will turn and talk to a partner about how “Two of Everything” might relate to
math. (Why is the story called “Two of Everything?” What type of math was in this
story?)
2. The teacher will review mathematical terms such as addend and sum. Who remembers
3. The teacher will discuss the topic of adding doubles. (How do you know when you have a
4. The teacher will assist the class in completing the first two problems on the adding
doubles worksheet. (Who knows what two plus two equals? How do you know that two
plus two equals four? If we have both addends, what are we trying to find?)
5. Students will complete the rest of the worksheet independently. (How do you know that
five plus five equals ten? How can you check your answer?)
three, how many counters should I put on the mat? Where on the mat should I put the
counters?)
7. Students will work in pairs to complete the game. (Why did you put four counters on
each side of the mat? Who has the higher sum for problem #1?)
8. To close, students will pick a question out of a bag that they must answer as their exit
ticket. (How do you know that ten is the missing addend? What is the sum of eight plus
eight?)
Indicator: This will be evident when the teacher is teaching students what doubles are and
how to add them.
Indicator: This will be evident when the teacher shows the students how to add doubles
using the images provided on the work sheet.
Indicator: This will be evident when students work together to play an adding doubles
game.
ADAPTATIONS (Exceptionality*)
• The student who has attention issues will be monitored and kept on task using verbal and
non-verbal cues.
• The student who has medical needs and may require the bathroom frequently, will be
able to get up and use the bathroom at any point.
DIFFERENTIATION OF INSTRUCTION
• Struggling students will benefit from the visuals on the worksheet, as well as an
additional handout of doubles math facts.
• Average level students will benefit from the visuals on the worksheet and be provided an
opportunity to attempt more advanced problems if they finish.
• Advanced students will be given an additional worksheet that contains more difficult
problems to challenge them.
• Visual learners will benefit from the images on the worksheet.
• Musical learners will benefit from the rap that teaches the math concept.
• Interpersonal learners will benefit from the collaborative game.
Students must complete the worksheet on adding doubles, answering at least 4 out of 6 problems
correctly.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
For homework, students will complete a page in their Go Math workbooks on adding doubles to
reinforce the topic and provide opportunity for practice.
Academic Enrichment
For those who finish their worksheet early, there is an enrichment activity attached to the back.
The challenge is a worksheet that involves solving doubles facts without pictures. It also
involves determining whether or not a problem is a doubles fact. All students will be given the
opportunity to try this activity.
