Easy Addition: The Plus 2 Facts
This is also a simple counting fact strategy. There are two ways to represent the plus two
strategy visually. One involves the use of a number line. The second involves a ten
frame.

Demonstrating the Strategy
You can use the number line to show basic plus two facts. Count out on the number line,
state the number, and add two more. In the example above, you would count, “1, 2, 3, 4.
We have 4, and now we are going to add 2 more. 5, 6, that gives us 6.” You can use a
similar method for the ten frame. Note: the larger dots in the tens frame just
demonstrate a change or in this case, what is added. In class, you can use dots or
chips that are all the same size. Use a number of different facts to communicate the
plus two strategy.
General Guidelines
Remember, use the first page of the facts set to talk about the strategy. Give students
enough time to apply the strategy to the facts. For the remaining pages, use the mastery
criterion – at least 35 correct facts out of 40 in two minutes. Duplicate fact sheets if you
need to in order to give students enough practice to meet the mastery criterion. Also,
look over student sheets to see if particular facts are difficult for students. If so, provide
even more practice on these facts.
