Since common core rolled out, parents (and even some educators) struggle with why math instruction has shifted from procedural to conceptual. Graham Fletcher’s progression videos show you how math concepts build and grow one another through the grade levels. Fletcher begins his series with understanding early numeracy and counting then moves through the four operations before moving to fractions. Each video is less than 8-minutes in length and can help parents and educators understand why context and conceptual understanding are important in growing mathematicians.
