Jim- Post teaching, Jim was able to group numbers, could count forwards and backwards, and also had his doubles facts (ex. 7+7=14) memorized. Jim has learned a lot this year. He is more proficient in all of his skills.
Lauren-Lauren has also learned a lot in first grade. She knows all her doubles facts by memory, and is also able to realize that because the answer is less, then one of the numbers in the problems must be less. ex. If 7+7=14 then 7+6=13. She does understand all of her processes, but she still isn't able to explain the process in words.
Elizabeth-Elizabeth is also familiar with her doubles facts. However, she doesn't process problems in her head-she still needs to count on her fingers. She does understand the process and is able to explain her reasoning.
Did you see any other strategies being used besides doubles?
