DAILY MATH FLUENCY
For K-2 and 3-5 Classroom Teachers and Coaches
INSTRUCTOR: Rachel Scott, Georgia Educational Consultant, hand2mind
We know timed tests don't teach fluency, but what does? Use number strings to teach strategies that improve student efficiency and flexibility with numbers and math talks to improve student's math language and sharing of ideas. Teach subitizing, counting and additive strategies so students gain confidence in their math thinking.
In this interactive workshop, K–5 teachers will learn how to help their students develop efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy with basic math facts using Number Strings, Math Talks, and hands-on manipulatives. Daily Math Fluency is a teacher-developed, classroom-tested solution that builds conceptual understanding, strengthens number sense, and develops math fluency in just 10 minutes a day!
Daily Math Fluency provides a way to help students develop numeracy, which is the ability to use mathematical relationships to reason with numbers and numerical concepts. The scaffolded resources help teachers to be able to understand the strategies they are constructing with students and how to model those strategies using manipulatives and visual models. Daily Math Fluency helps teachers identify efficient strategies and provides facilitating questions for the teacher to help guide a math discussion with students. These discussions help students make connections in mathematics and determine what strategy works best for certain numbers.
