[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people going on about memorizing doubles? Would you complain if they were memorizing the times tables? Well, what do you think the "2" times table is ... doubles! So, your 1/2nd grader is already memorizing the 2 times tables. Sheesh.[/quote] This. My son got the 2 times table from the double fact. 5 times table from reading analog clocks. 4 times table from double the doubles. He is half there to memorize the whole times table at first grade. The OP showed a strange rigidity in her thinking. Simply remembering 7+8 is not that hard. Exceeding grade level at this age is not hard to do. But being really comfortable with number is a good thing and probably harder for a child to achieve. I see no difference in making 10 or double even though making 10 is definitely more important. I still think if one is really comfortable with the Singapore Math, these wook sheets should be a piece of cake. [/quote]
