Add Doubles Facts Free Anchor Chart and Addition Free Activities for First Grade Math

It’s Double Trouble Time!⏰  Adding doubles (1+1, 2+2, and so on) is an important step in learning basic operations for your youngest mathematicians.  This is one of the first steps in understanding counting, addition, and eventually multiplication skills. 

 
Your K-2 students will get excited about learning their doubles with these fun, engaging activities to practice adding the same number two times from 1+1 through 10+10.

Engage with an Adding Doubles Song! 

As always, I love introducing and reviewing math concepts with a short and catchy video.  If Jack Hartmann creates it, we play it.  Plain and simple.  We love that guy!
 
 
There are so many great doubles songs on YOUTUBE but another way I help my students is by giving each student an anchor chart.

Build a Foundation with an Anchor Chart

Anchor Charts help support my visual learners.  As time goes on, I notice my students rely less and less on the anchor chart as they commit these facts to memory and instant recall.

Use a Number Line

Incorporate a number line into adding doubles instruction. As your students solve the equations, they can use a number line as a visual or even plot their answer on the number line. Number lines are a great way to practice counting along with basic operations such as addition. 

 
The doubles activities come with equations and a number line on each of the equation sheets! Each of the above adding doubles activities are ready-to-go with the adding double freebie
