Addition

6 + 6 is a double. The answer is 12.

6+6=12

Now 6+ 5 is one less…(12-1) = 11

6+5=11

6+7 is one more…(12+1) = 13

6+1=13

Knowing the doubles, you know more.

Math multiplication facts have patterns, too. Check out the book

True Learning to find them.


Find the patterns within the number!

12 = 1x12,  2x6,  3x4

28 = 1x28, 2x14, 4x7 and! 1+2+14+4+7 = 28!
