Important: Doubles!!!

Math homework this week includes “DOUBLES” problems.  Here is our doubles rap and doubles “pictures” that we will be learning in the next few days.  Use these to help start memorizing the doubles and answer homework questions. Just FYI, the kids are doing VERY well as a whole on doubles, but are a little unsure of doubles +1 and -1.

Here’s how we’re making mental pictures of our doubles

2 + 2 = 4      Picture a wagon with 2 wheels on each side and 4 wheels total

3 + 3 = 6      Picture a 6 pack of soft drinks, with 3 cans on each side

4 + 4 = 8      Picture a spider with 4 legs on each side and 8 legs total

5 + 5 = 10   Picture 5 fingers on each hand and 10 fingers total

6 + 6 = 12   Picture a dozen of eggs with 6 eggs in each row and 12 eggs total

7 + 7 = 14   Picture two weeks on a calendar with 7 days in each week and 14 days total

8 + 8 = 16   Picture a 16 pack of crayons with 8 crayons in each row and 16 crayons total

9 + 9 = 18   Picture a semi (18 wheeler) with 9 wheels on each side and 18 wheels total

10 + 10 = 20  Picture all your fingers and toes for a total of 20
