Doubling up

Introduction

Doubling up 

 

Doubling up can be explained as adding a number to itself.

e.g. double 5 = 5 + 5 = 10

That is usually simple when doubling a single digit however things get more complicated when we need to double 2 digit number.

When doubling a 2 digit number we can use a method know as the break down method.

Lets double the number 12 using the break down method.

Step 1: Break down the number 12 ( 10 + 2)

Step 2: Double each number (20 + 4 )

Step 3: Add the numbers up to get answer = 28
