<p><strong>Because fluency practice is not a worksheet. </strong></p> <p>Fluency in mathematics is more than adeptly using basic facts or implementing algorithms. <em>Real</em> fluency involves reasoning and creativity, and it varies by the situation at hand.</p> <p><strong><em>Figuring Out Fluency in Mathematics Teaching and Learning</em></strong> offers educators the inspiration to develop a deeper understanding of procedural fluency, along with a plethora of pragmatic tools for shifting classrooms toward a fluency approach. In a friendly and accessible style, this hands-on guide empowers educators to support students in acquiring the repertoire of reasoning strategies necessary to becoming versatile and nimble mathematical thinkers. It includes:</p> <ul> <li> "Seven Significant Strategies" to teach to students as they work toward procedural fluency.</li> <li> Activities, fluency routines, and games that encourage learning the efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy essential to real fluency.</li> <li>Reflection questions, connections to mathematical standards, and techniques for assessing all components of fluency.</li> <li>Suggestions for engaging families in understanding and supporting fluency.</li> </ul> <p>Fluency is more than a toolbox of strategies to choose from; it’s also a matter of equity and access for all learners. Give your students the knowledge and power to become confident mathematical thinkers.</p>
