Double?

No

• Each half of a domino carries its own number of spots, and the tile's value is the two halves added together: 2 + 6 = 8.
• Turning the tile round swaps the halves without changing its value, which is the commutative property of addition: 2 + 6 = 6 + 2 = 8.
• The same tile shows the subtraction facts too: 8 − 2 = 6 and 8 − 6 = 2.
• A full double-six set has 28 tiles: every pair of numbers from blank to six once each, counting a tile and its turned-round twin as the same tile.
