Using Doubles Worksheet: Scaffolding & Extension Tips 

In addition to individual student work time, use this worksheet as a:

• Math center activity
• Post-lesson exit ticket 
• Homework assignment
• Whole-class review (via smartboard)

Got fast finishers? Encourage students who require an additional challenge to write their own word problems for each addition problem on the worksheet.

You may like to provide students who need extra support with a number line or with manipulatives (such as blocks or counters) to help them add the numbers.
