Doubles, doubles, we can add doubles! Knowing doubles facts is a great strategy for becoming fluent with addition facts. Practice those double facts! Here is an easy game to play at home. Take one die and roll it. Have your first grader say the double of the number rolled. For instance, if a two is rolled, the student would say, "Four." Here are some boys in class playing "Doubles Snap."
Doubles are not only easy to memorize but they can help students with other related facts. For example, students that know 5+5 can easily figure out that 5+6 would be one more, 11. In the app Scribble Press, we made a book using stickers to illustrate the doubles + 1 facts.
