Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun with numbers. We’re going to learn about something called “doubles.” Are you ready? Let’s go!
Doubles are when you add two numbers that are exactly the same. It’s like having two of your favorite toys and putting them together to see how many you have in total!
We can sing a little song to help us remember our doubles. Singing makes learning fun and easy!
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 2 = 4
3 + 3 = 6
4 + 4 = 8
5 + 5 = 10
See how easy that was? Let’s keep going!
6 + 6 = 12
7 + 7 = 14
8 + 8 = 16
9 + 9 = 18
10 + 10 = 20
The more you practice, the better you’ll remember these doubles. You can even make up your own song or game to help you learn. Have fun with it!
Knowing your doubles can help you with math problems. It’s like having a special trick up your sleeve to solve things faster!
Great job learning about doubles today! Keep practicing, and you’ll be a doubles expert in no time!
Double Hunt: Go on a “double hunt” around your house or classroom. Look for pairs of items that are the same, like two shoes, two apples, or two books. Count them together to see how many you have in total. Can you find at least five pairs? Share what you found with a friend or family member!
Doubles Drawing: Grab some paper and crayons. Draw a picture of your favorite double, like 3 + 3 or 5 + 5. For example, if you choose 3 + 3, draw three cats on one side and three cats on the other side. Count them all together to see how many you have in total. Show your drawing to someone and explain your double!
Double Dice Game: Use a pair of dice to play a doubles game. Roll one die and then double the number you see. For example, if you roll a 4, then 4 + 4 = 8. Write down the doubles you find. Can you roll and double each number from 1 to 6?
