Read Double the Ducks by Stuart J. Murphy, one of the books in the Math Start series. Encourage the children to think along with the boy as he deals with the problem of more and more ducks. Play a game with classroom items. For example, place three blocks on the floor and chant, “Double, double. It's no trouble!” Invite one child to come up and add items to make double the amount. Show them how to line them up using 1:1. Then count the new amount. Repeat with different items and different numbers. This could be done in large group.
