What Are Doubles Facts?

Doubles facts are addition facts where the same number is added to itself.

Examples include:

• 2 + 2 = 4
• 4 + 4 = 8
• 7 + 7 = 14
• 10 + 10 = 20

Learning doubles facts helps children become more confident mathematicians because they can use these facts to solve many other problems quickly.

For example:

• If a child knows 6 + 6 = 12, they can easily figure out 6 + 7 by adding one more.
• If they know 5 + 5 = 10, they can use that fact when learning multiplication and skip counting.
