What Are Doubles?
Doubles are when we add the same number to itself!
It's like having two of the same thing - two eyes, two hands, or two shoes! Adding doubles is easy and fun when you remember these special pairs.
How to Add Doubles
1️⃣ Find two identical numbers or groups
2️⃣ Count all the items together
3️⃣ Remember these special pairs for faster math!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use everyday objects like socks, fruits, or toys to demonstrate doubles in real life
- Create a doubles song or rhyme to help remember the facts (1+1=2, 2+2=4, etc.)
- Play "Double Match" - write numbers on cards and have your child find matching pairs to add
