First, check out this post for all the details about the doubles chant, from the book Doing Math in Morning Meeting.

In short, knowing doubles leads to students being able to use the doubles strategy for addition to master facts such at 6 + 7 (6 + 6 plus 1 more). I decided my sad, hand-written poster needed could stand a makeover. Ta da! New poster. If you have poster-sized plotter printer, it enlarges perfectly.

A couple of notes. First, if you use ten-sided dice (0-9), you can practice doubles up to 9 + 9. Second, when I asked the second-grade class to give me examples of doubles, one bright kiddo said 2 x 2.  Hmmm, that got me thinking.  This activity could easily be used with older kiddos for multiplication doubles!  From the mouth of babes. 🙂
