Ask a six-year-old what 4 + 4 makes, and the answer often comes fast. Ask which double makes 8, and the same child may need a long think. This 1st grade writing doubles facts worksheet works on that second, harder question. Twelve colored boxes each start with an even number and an equal sign, such as 12 = or 18 =. Your child finds the two equal parts and writes them after the sign. The first box shows a worked example, 44 = 22 + 22. Most numbers stay at 20 or under, while a few, like 26 and 30, stretch further and invite your child to split tens and ones. A second page gives the answer key.
