The Doubles Pattern

Doubles make a pattern too: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10!

 
Look what happens when we double: the answers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 — the same as counting in 2s!
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 2 = 4
3 + 3 = 6
4 + 4 = 8
5 + 5 = 10
2
4
6
8
10
The doubles answers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) make the same pattern as counting in 2s! Maths patterns connect to each other — that is what makes them powerful.
