Add Doubles and Near Doubles

Add faster using doubles and near doubles facts.

2nd Grade - Math - Add with facts up to 20

About This Skill

On Iqleel, Grade 2 students will apply a powerful mental math strategy for addition: using doubles and near doubles. Learners will first master their doubles facts (e.g., 7+7), then use that knowledge to quickly solve near doubles problems, like 7+8, by thinking 'double plus one'. This approach builds fact fluency and a strong number sense, helping students solve addition problems with speed and confidence.
