Multiplication Facts: Doubles

The Doubles strategy below is taken from Five Times Five Is Not Ten by Susan Greenwald, MA Ed. You can find more about the workbook and author here.

Work through Doubles with your child using the links to the worksheets for practice and review.

Direct your child to use manipulatives (e.g. counters, crayons, buttons, etc.) to show 2 groups of 2. Hold out your two hands, palms up, and direct your child to place 1 group of 2 in each hand. Put your two hands together, and have your child count how many there are. Note that this is the same as doubling or adding 2 + 2. Do the same for 2 groups of 3 = the Double 3 + 3, 2 groups of 4 = the Double 4 + 4, and 2 groups of 5 = the Double 5 + 5. This is counting by 2s.
