In math today, we continued on with Lesson 16-2, “Doubles Plus One”. We completed practice and word problems found on pages 487-488. We worked on tricks to memorizing the doubles facts and looked at how by changing one addend by one, the sum then increased by one. We looked at our answers and determined if the sums were even or odd. We found a pattern that the doubles facts all had even answers, while the doubles + 1 had odd answers. We continued on to Lesson 16-3, “Doubles Plus Two”. We worked through the practice and word problems found on pages 489-492. Similar to the doubles + 1 activities, this practice uses doubles + 2. I reminded Gracyn once she memorizes her doubles facts, she will be able to use those to help her with doubles + 1 and doubles + 2 for quick addition problem solving. She showed good progress today! She completed a + 3 math addition drill in her workbook. She scored a 100% and completed 25 problems in 5 minutes. We ended our math time with a fun math-based book entitled “Busy Beavers: Counting by 5s” by Megan Atwood. We practiced counting by 5s to help the beavers build their dam.
