The CRA Model is an instructional approach for teaching math. It consists of three phases:  Concrete Representational Abstract  In the concrete phase, we focus on using hands-on manipulatives. Students should be able to move and manipulate 3D objects to represent their thinking. An example of this might be base ten blocks to represent an addition expression.

A near double is a math fact that is close to a doubles fact. For example, 6+7 is considered a near double because it is close to the doubles fact 6+6.  Near doubles could be doubles plus one facts, doubles plus two facts, or doubles minus one facts.  The near doubles strategy teaches us that we can make connections and form relationships between facts.   #mathstrategies #mentalmath #shelleygrayteaching #additionstrategies #addition #mathstrategy #neardoubles Addition And Subtraction Practice, Doubles Addition, Doubles Facts, Addition Strategies, Math Addition, Doubles Worksheet, Subtraction Strategies
