Learn doubles up to 10

Math

• The child has learned to identify and recall doubles up to 10, such as 1+1, 2+2, etc.
• They can demonstrate understanding of doubles by solving addition problems involving doubles, such as 3+3 or 4+4.
• The child can apply knowledge of doubles to solve related subtraction problems, for example, if they know 6+6=12, they can easily deduce that 12-6=6.
• They have developed mental math skills by practicing doubles and can quickly recall the sums without counting on their fingers.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore other number patterns and relationships. They can learn about skip counting by twos, which will reinforce their understanding of doubles. They can also practice using doubles to solve more complex addition and subtraction problems. Additionally, incorporating doubles into everyday situations, such as sharing equally between siblings or counting objects in pairs, can reinforce the concept in a practical way.
