Add doubles

Key notes:-

🔢 What Are Doubles?

• Doubles are two of the same number added together.
  Example: 2 + 2, 5 + 5

🧠 Doubles Help Us Add Faster

• If students remember doubles facts, they can solve addition problems quickly! ⚡

🎲 Common Doubles Facts

• 1 + 1 = 2
• 2 + 2 = 4
• 3 + 3 = 6
• 4 + 4 = 8
• 5 + 5 = 10
• 6 + 6 = 12
• 7 + 7 = 14
• 8 + 8 = 16
• 9 + 9 = 18

🍎 Use Objects to Show Doubles

• Students can use counters, fingers, blocks, or pictures to model.
  Example: 3 red apples + 3 green apples = 6 apples 🍎🍏

🧩 Doubles Patterns

• Doubles always make even numbers.
• Answers go up by 2, 2, 2… every time → 2, 4, 6, 8, 10…

🎉 Doubles in Real Life

• 2 shoes + 2 shoes = 4 shoes 👟
• 4 pencils + 4 pencils = 8 pencils ✏️

🌟 Doubles Strategy Helps With Other Sums

• Students can use “near doubles” later, such as:
  5 + 6 → “5 + 5 = 10, then add 1 more = 11”
