10 + 10 = 20

Ten plus ten equals twenty. 10 + 10 is a double: the same number twice. Doubles are worth knowing by heart, because so many other facts lean on them.

See 10 + 10

10 red and 10 yellow. The first frame fills up at 10, and 10 more sit in the next one.

It's a double

  1. See two equal groups of 10.
  2. Fingers and toes: 10 of each, 20 in all.
  3. So 10 + 10 = 20. Say it a few times until it comes without counting.

Its fact family has two facts

10, 10 and 20 go together, so learning one of these helps with all of them. See the family.
