About Year 1 Doubling Worksheets
Is your child ready to explore doubling? These free Year 1 doubling worksheets introduce one of the most important early multiplication concepts. Doubling means adding a number to itself, and it's a skill your child will use right through primary school and beyond.
Over five daily worksheets, your child will learn to double numbers from 1 to 10. Starting with doubling using pictures and objects, then progressing to doubling as addition (3 + 3 = 6), your child will build fluency with doubles facts. These are the building blocks of the 2 times table!
What's Inside Each Day
1
Day 1
Doubling with pictures — your child counts matching pairs of objects to find the double (3 butterflies + 3 butterflies = 6).

Day 2
Doubling on a number line — children jump along a number line to find doubles, seeing that doubling means adding the same number again.
3
Day 3
Doubles facts to 5 — your child memorises doubles of 1 to 5 (1+1=2, 2+2=4, 3+3=6, 4+4=8, 5+5=10).
4
Day 4
Doubles facts to 10 — children extend their doubles knowledge to include 6+6=12 through to 10+10=20.

Day 5
Doubling word problems — real-life scenarios like "You have 4 stickers and your friend gives you the same number" put doubling into context.

Top Tip for Parents
Play "Double it!" at mealtimes: hold up some fingers and ask your child to double the number. Or try the mirror game — show 3 objects and ask how many there would be if you had the same amount again. Doubles are one of the first maths facts children can learn by heart!
