Welcome to the World of Doubles!

Introduction

Good morning, mathematicians! Today, we’re going to dive into a fun and exciting topic: Doubles! Before we start crunching numbers, let’s wake up our brains with a little imagination and creativity.

Storytime: The Magic of Doubling

🔮 Imagine this: You are a wizard in a magical land where numbers come to life! One day, you discover a special spell that makes numbers double. When you cast this spell, every number you touch becomes twice as big!

For example, if you touch the number 2, it transforms into a number 4! If you touch the number 5, it becomes 10!

Your Magical Mission

Let’s work together to help our wizard friend solve some challenges using the double spell!

• Challenge 1: What is double the number of fingers on one hand? (Hint: Count the fingers on one hand first!)

• Challenge 2: If you have 3 magical candies and you cast your doubling spell, how many candies do you have now?

Activity: Double or Nothing!

Now that we've warmed up our imagination, it's time to bring out our Doubles Chart!

1. Draw a chart on your paper with two columns.
2. In the first column, write down your favorite numbers from 1 to 10.
3. In the second column, write down the doubles of those numbers.
