For student - jumbo die, paper, pencil, counters if needed.
For teacher - white board, marker.

1 - Review Doubles. Ask the students what is a double and what doubles do they know. Write these on the white board.
2 - Have a student roll the jumbo die and tell the class what number appears.
3 - Have the students write this number down on their paper, double it and write the sum (Example - 4+4=8). They may use counters if needed.
4 - Continue having students roll the die and create doubles. Compile doubles from 1 to 10 on white board.
5 - Discuss what might be an easy way to use doubles they know to figure out other numbers. (Example - Double 5 is 10, what is double 6? Because 6 is one more than 5, double 1 is 2. 10+2=12.)
6 - Have children identify doubles they know to figure out other doubles.
7 - Have the children write the addition sentences.
8 - Review the concept.
