1. Doubles Memory: This game will help your first grader practice their doubles

facts. If you choose this game, you will need to cut apart the Doubles Fact Cards.

Directions:

Doubles Memory is played just like regular Memory, but your student is trying to

find a match between the doubles fact and the sum. Your first grader should lay

the cards face down in rows. Each person will take turns choosing two cards. If

the player gets a match (the double fact and the sum), the player keeps the

cards. If it is not a match, the player returns the cards to the same spot and it

is the next player’s turn. As your child tries to make matches, be sure they are

finding the answer to the doubles fact. The player with the most matches at the

end of the game is the winner.

combinations. If you choose this game, you will need to cut out the add up tiles.

(See game sheet for directions.)

Add Up Tiles A game for 2 players

All tiles are placed face down beside the board. Players take turns to choose a tile and cover two spaces on the board that add to the total on the tile. The tile can be laid vertically or horizontally. A tile card cannot be placed on top of another tile. When a player picks up a tile and can’t find a place to lay the tile, the other

player is the winner.
