About This Skill

On Iqleel, first-grade students will practice one of the most useful addition strategies: solving doubles facts. They will start by using visual aids like cubes to understand the concept, then move to selecting the correct equation, and finally solve word problems by completing a doubles fact. This skill helps students master the concept of adding a number to itself (like 4 + 4), which is a key mental math skill for building addition fluency and solving problems more quickly.

Curriculum Alignment

  • 1.OA.C.6: Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
