FAQ

What is the 'doubles plus 1' strategy and how does it work?

If students know 6+6=12, they can solve 6+7 by thinking '12 plus 1 more = 13,' using the known doubles fact as a shortcut for the near-double.

Why teach doubles-plus-1 before direct memorization of near-double facts?

Strategy-based learning builds a connected understanding where students derive facts from what they know, rather than treating each fact as isolated.

Which addition facts are covered by the doubles-plus-1 strategy?

All consecutive addend facts — 1+2, 2+3, 3+4, 4+5, 5+6, 6+7, 7+8, 8+9 — are solved using the doubles-plus-1 approach.
