Topic: Addition using the Doubles Strategy
Grade Level: Grade 2
Objective: Strengthen mental math skills by recognizing and solving doubles addition problems.
The doubles strategy in addition is when a number is added to itself. This is a fundamental concept in early math learning and helps students build a strong foundation for addition and multiplication.
If we have 5 apples and get 5 more apples, how many apples do we have in total?
5 + 5 = 10
Question: What is
Step 1: Identify the number being doubled → 7
Step 2: Add the same number to itself → 7 + 7
Answer: 14
Now, let’s apply the same strategy to solve other problems in the worksheet!
1. Hands-on Practice: Use small objects like coins, beads, or blocks to count and add doubles.
2. Number Line Addition: Draw a number line and jump forward by the same number to find the sum.
3. Doubles Memory Game: Create flashcards with doubles equations and their answers. Let students match them!
4. Song & Rhymes: Use songs like the Doubles Rap to make learning fun and memorable!
5. Color & Solve: Turn the worksheet into an interactive game by coloring the correct answers.
This worksheet makes learning math fun and interactive while strengthening a key addition strategy.
Let’s practice and master doubles together!
