Exploring Doubles and Even/Odd Numbers

Miss Hazal introduces the concept of doubles facts to help understand even and odd numbers. She explains that adding the same number twice results in an even number, using examples from 0 to 12 and larger numbers like 21. Patterns in totals are identified, and arrays are used to visualize these concepts. The lesson concludes with a summary and a preview of the next topic.
