How often have you heard (or said), “but they don’t know their facts,” when talking about student progress in math? Every math teacher works to build fluency as part of instruction but so much of what happens in one grade doesn’t seem to stick when students move to the next grade. What does it mean to teach mathematics by building fluency with flexibility, so the learning sticks and students keep moving forward? How do we build procedural fluency from conceptual understanding?
In this first part of a two-part series, Sara Delano Moore, Ph.D. shares tools and strategies for putting research into action as you develop addition and subtraction fluency in your classroom. You leave the edWebinar with practical strategies in these areas:
- Identifying effective strategies for students to use when adding and subtracting
- Using memorization as a meaningful strategy to consolidate learning
- Building alignment of strategies across the grade levels as students progress from basic facts
- Implementing an instructional sequence to support long-term fluency
Watch Sara to build your toolbox for student success with addition and subtraction. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers and school and district leaders of the elementary through middle school grades.
