Introducing the Double-Facts Poster
Before introducing the Poster, cover the double facts
listed beneath each illustration with a sticky note and
copy the Double-Facts Poster Reproducible.
Encourage students to think about double facts by
bringing two students to the front of the room. Ask the
class what addition fact they can create using these two
volunteers. Write 1 + 1 = 2 on the board, then ask each of
these students to pick a student to join them. Ask the
class what fact they have made now and write
2 + 2 = 4. Continue to increase the number of students
while creating a list of double facts. Ask students what
they notice about the facts written on the board.
Discuss how each of the facts are double facts, they
increase by two, and the answers are always even.
Point to the Poster and summarize what students just
did in the previous exercise. Explain that the Poster is a
tool to help them visualize and remember double facts.
Point to the first fact illustration and explain that the
face has two eyes. We always think of eyes as a pair.
Indicate that remembering 1 + 1 = 2 is easy if they can
visualize a pair of eyes. Then reveal the addition fact
under the sticky note. Continue asking students why
each of the remaining illustrations are used to visualize
the rest of the double facts. Conclude the lesson by
distributing the Double-Facts Poster Reproducible and
instructing students to store it in a safe place for
easy reference.
Double-Facts Flash Cards
Copy the Double-Facts Flash Cards Reproducible onto
card stock and distribute. To assemble the flash cards:
Have students cut along the dotted lines, fold the cards
in half along the solid lines, and glue the two sides of
each together. Urge students to use these cards to
study in the classroom and at home.
Concentration Game
Copy the Double-Facts Flash Cards Reproducible and cut
along the solid and dotted lines to create 10 picture
cards and 10 fact cards. Place the cards at a center and
allow students to play Concentration: Direct students to
take turns flipping over two cards at a time to find
matches. Explain that each time a student turns over a
matching fact and picture card with the answer, they
keep the match. The student with the most matches at
the end wins the game.
Double Vision
Copy and distribute the Double-Vision Reproducible. Tell
students to illustrate their own double fact. When they
are finished, ask for volunteers to share their
reproducible. Display the finished reproducibles or create
a mini book of facts with them.
Daily Double Facts
Make studying double facts a part of your daily routine.
Here are a few ways to add double fact memorization to
your classroom routine:
• Hopscotch—Enlarge and assemble a set of cards from
the Double-Facts Flash Cards Reproducible. Direct
students to place the facts on the floor in a line in an
area where there is plenty of room, and move from one
card to the next as if they were playing hopscotch. As
they land on a card, they must be able to give the correct
answer to the double fact to collect the card and move on
to the next card. The goal is for each player to collect as
many cards as possible when it is his or her turn.
• Password—Each day, post a new double fact at the
classroom door. Explain that as students enter or
leave the room, they are to read the fact and answer it
correctly before passing through the door.
• Fact Buddies—Pass out all the cards from the
Double-Facts Flash Cards Reproducible and have
students find their match to complete their double
fact. The pairs are partners for all buddy activities
that day, week, or month.
• Bingo—Distribute a set of cards from the DoubleFacts Flash Cards Reproducible to each student and
one for yourself. Instruct students to set their cards
on their desk to make a bingo-like board with five rows
of four cards. Using your set of cards, call out either a
double fact problem or answer. Tell students that when
they find the answer to the problem or the double fact
on their board, they are to turn that card over. The
student who turns over four cards in a row first wins.
Practice and Assessment
Copy and distribute the Double-Facts Quiz Reproducible.
Discuss how to complete the reproducible. Collect the
reproducible to determine each student’s understanding.
