*We discussed the adding strategy "nearly doubles". If you know your doubles then it can make adding questions like 6+7 easier because you can think of it as double 6 plus 1. Another example is 9+8 is double eight plus 1. Much easier than "counting on"!

*This was our final day for reading the Goldilocks and the Three Bears play.

If you know all the numbers that add together to make ten then you can use that knowledge to add other addition facts more easily. For example, 5+8 can be thought of as (5+5) +3, which is much easier to do mentally.
