Addition Within 20: Doubles and Near Doubles

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: using known doubles to solve near-double facts

1

Solve 6 + 6. Then solve 6 + 7 by adding one more.

2

Use 5 + 5 = 10 to solve 5 + 4. What changed?

3

Circle the double in 8 + 9. Write the nearby double fact.

4

Solve 7 + 7 and 7 + 8. Show the difference between the totals.

5

Which is faster for 4 + 5: count all or use 4 + 4? Explain.

6

Write a near-double fact with a total no greater than 20 and show its double helper.

Grown-up note: Ask your learner to explain one answer in their own words.
