But I had to read this four times myself to understand what needs to be done.  And I took Calculus.

I'm not sure six year olds know what "double facts", " addends", "grouping methods".  What the hell is " double plus one" supposed to mean?

I definitely am not going to follow this curriculum at home.  Singapore math doesn't have all these confusing  terminology, it just focuses on simplest and most efficient strategies.

Singapore math does indeed have this terminology.

From the teacher manual:

https://www.singaporemath.com/v/sf_pmcctg1a.pdf

counting on

"This chapter also introduces students to a “count on” strategy for addition. This strategy will
help them work out some addition facts before they can memorize them. They can use this
strategy for + 2 and + 3 addition facts. It will become particularly useful later in Grade 3 when
examining what happens when the tens digit changes, or adding and subtracting numbers
close to a multiple of ten, for example, 25 + 28 = 25 + 30 ? 2."

doubles facts and doubles plus one facts:

"Dot cards can also help students initially with visualizing the addition facts for adding on to 5,
the facts that make 10, doubles (e.g., 4 + 4), and doubles + 1 (e.g., 4 + 5 is the same
as double 4 + one more). Students should by now be able to recognize numbers from dot
patterns without having to count."[/quote]
