About this resource
Description
This doubles addition activity sends young mathematicians on an out of this world mission to master doubles facts from 1 + 1 to 10 + 10. Doubles are some of the first facts children learn by heart, and knowing them well makes near doubles and mental math much easier. Quick, repeated practice with a fun theme helps those facts stick.
How to Use This Activity
Print the 10 rocket cards and 10 planet cards and cut them apart. Lay the planet cards face up. Children pick a rocket card, read the doubles fact, find the sum and land the rocket on the matching planet. For a memory game, turn all 20 cards face down and take turns finding a rocket and planet that match. This kindergarten addition activity works well in a math center, with a partner or in a small group, and a 1st grade practice page with dot pictures reviews the same facts.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page with simple steps
- 10 rocket cards with doubles facts from 1 + 1 to 10 + 10
- 10 planet cards with the matching sums
- A 1st grade practice worksheet: count the dot doubles and write the total
- An answer key with every rocket and planet match and the practice answers
Why It Helps Kids
- Doubles facts build fast, confident mental math.
- Matching facts to sums gives children a self-checking way to practice.
- Dot pictures connect each fact to a real quantity children can count.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the doubles addition activity as a warm-up or an early-finisher game. Ask children to find doubles in real life, like two hands with five fingers each, or challenge them to solve a near double such as 6 + 7.
