Adding Doubles Worksheets

Learn how to add doubles. Adding doubles means to add 2 of the same numbers. Memorizing the doubles of single digit numbers (2+2, 3+3, and so on) are facts that are useful in mental math.

Adding doubles is a basic addition strategy where you add a number to itself. This involves recognizing pairs of numbers that are the same and quickly finding their sum.

1. Identify the Doubles: Doubles are numbers that are the same when added. Examples include 1 + 1, 2 + 2, 3 + 3, and so on.
2. Visualize the Doubles: Encourage students to visualize doubles using objects or drawings. For example, if you have two apples and add two more, you have a total of four apples.
3. Memorize Doubles Facts: Emphasize the importance of memorizing doubles facts to make mental addition quicker and more efficient. This includes knowing the sums for all pairs of numbers up to a certain range.
4. Mental Math Practice: Practice mental math by adding doubles without the need for counting each individual item. For example, for 6 + 6, recognize that the sum is 12 without counting on fingers or objects.

Adding doubles is a foundational skill in mental math. By recognizing and memorizing doubles facts, students can improve their efficiency in solving addition problems and build a strong foundation for more complex mathematical concepts.
