Lesson 8 of 186

Concept

A double is when you add a number to the exact same number (like 4 + 4).

🎯 The Missing Twin Puzzle: Sometimes, one of the twins goes missing! Example: 5 + ___ = 10

Because we know the answer is 10, and we see a 5... what is the twin that makes 10? It's 5! So, 5 + 5 = 10.

Example: ___ + 6 = 12 We see a 6... what is 6's twin that makes 12? It's 6! So, 6 + 6 = 12.
