  • Computational Fluency is part of an essential
    foundation for more advanced performance.
  • Educators and cognitive scientists agree that
    the ability to recall basic math facts fluently
    is necessary for students to attain higher-order
    math skills... If a student constantly has to
    compute the answers to basic facts, less of that
    students thinking capacity can be devoted to
    higher level concepts than a student who can
    effortlessly recall the answers to basic facts.1

  • Fluency is moving students away from processing
    or constructing answers to knowing
  • So, how do we build fluency in the classroom?

  • Instant Differentiation (games will be playing at
    the childs skill level)
  • Plugged-in and visual stimulation needed to
    meet most kids where they are today
