Putting the focus on understanding and meaning in mathematics is sometimes easier said than done. @patsykanter and @steve_leinwand offer their advice for learning to teach with strategies that move away from route memorization and timed testing. https://t.co/h3bEEB9WQ3
Did we mention that we have TWO book birthdays today? "Developing Numerical Fluency" is available now.

"The effective development of numerical fluency involves the use of a set of cognitive processes throughout mathematics, not just in one lesson or introductory lessons."
@patsykanter@steve_leinwand

"These processes are not unique to numerical fluency—in fact, the same processes are essential for the development of spatial sense, algebraic reasoning, and other big ideas in mathematics!"

"Fluency emerges from diverse experiences that link numbers and operations to contexts and familiar situations."

"These six processes are the essence of the differentiation needed to effectively teach mathematics"

"Fluency is not a simple idea. Being fluent means that students are able to choose flexibly among methods and strategies to solve contextual and mathematical problems."

"We just see far too many kids being hurt by traditional instruction that puts memorization and speed ahead of strategies and understanding."
