Procedural Fluency

What does fluency mean?


How can I explain what fluency means to my child?

Use these three descriptions of fluency. Taking the emphasis off of correctness can help develop the other two very important components.

  1. I can use more than one strategy.

  2. I can pick the best strategy for the numbers I’m working with.

  3. I am correct.

What should my child be fluent in by the end of each year?

What Can I Do to Help?

There are two things important things you can do at home.

  1. Play math games. See below for games (and Math Flips) organized by grade level.
