🧮 Detailed Explanation of Add Doubles
Adding doubles means you add the same number to itself. It is like when you have two groups with the same amount and you put them together to find out how many there are altogether. This is very important because doubles help us add numbers quickly and understand times tables better in Year 2.
For example, if you have 3 apples and you get 3 more apples, you are adding doubles: 3 + 3. This equals 6 apples in total. Another example is 5 + 5, which equals 10.
When you add doubles, you are always adding two of the same number, like 1 + 1, 2 + 2, or 4 + 4. Knowing how to add doubles helps you solve problems faster in Maths and it is a fun way to learn number facts!
Remember, adding doubles is just about adding a number to itself, like a pair of socks—two the same! 🧦
