Learn the math: Near-Doubles Addition Strategy
Near doubles use a known double to add neighboring numbers. Adjust by one because one addend differs by one.
A worked example
For 6 + 7, double 6 to get 12, then add 1 to get 13. Or double 7 and subtract 1.
Keep in mind while you play
Use the double named by the ramp, then decide whether to add or remove one.
