They apply their decades of experience teaching mathematics to rethinking effective fluency instruction.Classroom-tested ideas you can use right awayEach chapter introduces ideas, techniques, and strategies that contribute to meaningful fluency for all students. You'll find:pivotal understandings that illuminate what contributes to real numerical fluencysix instructional processes that support lasting fluency developmentclassroom structures and activities for building fluency in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and divisionsuggestions for creating a school-wide culture of numerical fluency. Patsy and Steve remind us that, "Students do not develop numerical fluency by memorizing and regurgitating rules." But many of us learned mathematics in exactly this way, making shifting our instruction challenging. Developing Numerical Fluency provides just the right support, offering big ideas for rethinking instruction paired with classroom-tested activities you can use right away.
