We are working on learning our 'DOUBLES' by heart to 6 + 6 = 12.  Students will practice reciting starting with 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 4 up to 6 + 6.  When we have this mastered we will try using the strategy 'Doubles plus 1' and 'Doubles plus 2'. If you know the fact 5 + 5 = 10, then you can quickly figure out 5 + 6 = 11 and so on. For some students this is a great way to develop Mental Math Skills. This is fun!
