Educators across the country face a common concern, “We do not have a plan for math fact fluency.” In this exciting session, Kim Sutton will focus on the all-important goal of math fact fluency.  Basic facts are the tools for meaningful mathematics and Kim will share strategies for achieving math fact fluency through song, dance, literature, games and other practice tools!

 

In this session, participants will experience powerful models for all four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Through these models, participants can focus on teaching with more depth for higher levels of thinking. In other words, how teaching for understanding gives students the ability to perform more complex computation.

 

Kim will share how she designs her intensive practice schedules using computational strategies for fluency with math facts. Participants will leave with constructed tools to use in the classroom along with a complete manual of ideas to maximize the experience of practice with math facts.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided.


This workshop aligns with the Educator Effectiveness tenet.
