Doubles + 1

Lately we have been learning all about a new mental math strategy, doubles plus one.  We've practiced the strategy, drawn the strategy, used the strategy, wrote a mini-book about the strategy, and now we are playing with the strategy.  Today we tried out two new math games, using the doubles plus one strategy.  Students worked with a partner and they chose one of the games to begin with. After about ten minutes, we switched games and each pair played the other game.  We had a lot of fun.

We are looking forward to playing our favourite of the two games with you during our conferences.
