MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES Make sense of problems and persevere in solving
them Reason abstractly and quantitatively Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others Model with mathematics Use appropriate tools strategically Attend to precision Look for and make use of structure Look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning

FLUENCY PRACTICE (COMMON CORE INC.)Fluency in designed to promote automaticity by engaging students in practice in ways that get their adrenaline flowing. Automaticity is critical so students avoid using up to many of their attention resources with lower level skills when they are addressing lower level problems. Computational foundations enables deep understanding.

MATH FLUENCYExperts agree that the ability to recall basic
math facts fluently is necessary for students to attain higher-order math skills.
*Drop off in student performance in the middle and high school years can be attributed to math instruction at the elementary level. Many students memorize facts and can pass elementary assessments, however the lack of computational fluency becomes apparent in the secondary grades.

MENTAL MATH Mental Math is one component of Computational
Fluency Understanding Basic Number Combinations
Number Bonds Dot Plates
Understanding Base Ten Number System 10 times more, 10 times less In the number 220, the 2 in the hundreds place is 10 times
greater than the 2 in the tens place Recognize and Use related problems
Fact Families Inverse Functions; solve for missing addend, subtrahend, and
minuend. Understand and Use Properties

FLUENCY VS. MEMORIZATION Memorization
Single procedure and / or recall
Fluency Understanding of operations and their
relationship to each other (inverse function; fact families)
Number Relationships (compatible numbers – fives and tens)
Base Ten System For Example: recognizing the relationship between 5
+ 9 and 50 + 90

COMPUTATIONAL FLUENCYComputational Fluency includes three ideas: efficiency,
accuracy, and flexibility Efficiency implies that the student does not get bogged down
in too many steps or lose track of the logic of the strategy. An efficient strategy is one that the student can carry out easily, keeping track of subproblems and making use of intermediate results to solve the problem.
Accuracy depends on several aspects of the problem-solving process, among them careful recording, knowledge of number facts and other important number relationships, and double-checking results.
Flexibility requires the knowledge of more than one approach to solving a particular kind of problem, such as two-digit multiplication. Students need to be flexible in order to choose an appropriate strategy for the problem at hand, and also to use one method to solve a problem and another method to double-check the results.

ASSESSMENT OF COMPUTATIONAL FLUENCY The student draws on basic facts and number
relationships Properties
Student uses the structure of the base ten system 2 + 5 = 7; 20 + 50 = 70; 200 + 500 = 700
Student recognizes related problems Students relationships among related operations Student knows what each number and numeral means in
a problem Student can explain the steps he or she uses to solve
even recall problems Same student explains twice
Student can clearly record and track his or her procedure Student may have multiple approaches to solve a
problem

“DRILL & KILL” ≠ COMPUTATIONAL FLUENCY Memorization of math facts is not the same as
understanding number concepts Regardless of time and energy spent with “drill &
kill”, some students will not master facts Memory
Memory problem interferes with ability to retrieve basic facts quickly
Short Term Retention Cognitive
Understanding relationship between numbers Solving word problems Understanding number system & effective counting strategies
Visual / Spatial Misalignment of numerals in a column Problems with Place Value
