For years, teachers have been asking students to memorize their math facts, and to this day, the most common complaint that math specialist, Graham Fletcher, hears from teachers is, My kids arent fluent with their basic facts. Somewhere, between asking students to memorize their math facts in elementary school and then expecting students to use facts in practice, something isnt transferring.
In the new Building Fact Fluency: A Toolkit for Addition & Subtraction, Graham helps students learn their math facts by developing deep, conceptual understanding and procedural fluency at the same time. This comprehensive, research-based toolkit provides everything a teacher needs to help students develop number sense on the way to fluencyfrom cards, games, and videos to online resources, a facilitators guide, and hundreds of highly-engaging activities and tasks.
