Rockin with Doubles

Its the Doubles, Baby! Nearly a year ago {2010}, Heidi Samuelson from Swamp Frog First Graders posted a video tutorial about how to create an iPod case from an envelope for flashcards. You can link here to see her post.  I love the idea but wanted to add a doubles chant for our doubles flashcards.



If time permits, the kids can decorate their own pod design.



I'm including a copy of my flashcards and the double chant.

Doubles Rap Saoud


Today we listen to Harry Kindergarten's doubles video.  We had it on repeat during the iPod assembly.



This year {updated 2012}, I gave each child a menu button...

    LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU
    We just learned doubles as a strategy.
    The kids keep looking at me with twisted faces.
    This will definitely help untwist them!!!!
    Thank you for sharing <3

    This is from the Saxon Math series. We use Saxon math and that's how we teach the doubles. Great idea, and thanks for sharing!

    I have a doubles math activity available for free on my blog:

    A Teacher Always Grows

    It's part of my "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown mini-unit!

    Cannot wait to do this! I've been doing the Harry Kindergarten song (which they love), but I'm really loving the iPod! :)
