FAQ
How does the doubles-plus-2 strategy work in practice?⌄
For 5+7, students think '5+5=10, plus 2 more = 12' — the smaller addend doubles, and the difference between the addends (2) is added.
Is doubles-plus-2 harder than doubles-plus-1 for 1st graders?⌄
Yes — it requires students to add 2 instead of 1, and the addends are no longer consecutive, making the near-double relationship slightly less obvious.
What doubles facts must be automatic before students can use the doubles-plus-2 strategy?⌄
Doubles from 1+1 through 9+9 should be quick recalls so students can focus on the 'plus 2' adjustment rather than computing the double itself.
