Bump/Bump Plus One
Adding doubles is a way to quickly find the sum of two numbers that are the same. For example, if you know that 3+3=6, you can use this fact to help with other math problems. When you add a number to the next number, like 3+4, you can think of it as a "double plus one." Since 3+3=6, then 3+4 is just one more, which is 7. Knowing doubles helps you solve math problems faster and makes math easier. Practice these facts to become a math whiz!

Teaching style
I believe students learn best when they are encouraged to think deeply, ask questions, and explain their reasoning. My teaching style focuses on rich problem solving, meaningful discussion, and real-world connections that help students see math as something they can understand and use.
I design resources that support multiple strategies, promote math talk, and allow students to show their thinking in different ways. My goal is to build confidence and curiosity, while giving teachers flexible tools that work in whole-group lessons, small groups, or independent practice.
Every resource is created with clarity, accessibility, and student engagement in mind.
