Building Math Fluency Grade 1

Exercises to help elementary students improve their math skills.

Help your students solve math facts with ease, speed, and accuracy Building Math Fluency, Grade 1 introduces students to addition and subtraction strategies that help them approach computation in logical, strategic, and successful ways You'll love the ease and convenience of presenting each strategy--transparencies, teacher overview pages, student practice pages, flashcards, and assessment record charts give you all the tools you need. Grade 1 covers the following math strategies: Addition: - Plus Zero - Count Up - Turn Around - Doubles - Doubles Plus One - Tens Partners - Plus Ten Subtraction: - Minus Zero - A Number Minus Itself - Count Back - Count Up - Think Addition - Tens Partners - Doubles - Minus Ten - Mixed Strategies Practice

This approach to teaching basic math facts, grounded in years of research, will transform students' learning of basic facts and help them become more confident, adept, and successful at math. Mastering the basic facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is an essential goal for all students. Most educators also agree that success at higher levels of math hinges on this fundamental skill. But what's the best way to get there? Are flash cards, drills, and timed tests the answer? If so, then why do students go into the upper elementary grades (and beyond) still counting on their fingers or experiencing math anxiety? What does research say about teaching basic math facts so they will stick? In Math Fact Fluency, experts Jennifer Bay-Williams and Gina Kling provide the answers to these questions—and so much more. This book offers everything a teacher needs to teach, assess, and communicate with parents about basic math fact instruction, including The five fundamentals of fact fluency, which provide a research-based framework for effective instruction in the basic facts. Strategies students can use to find facts that are not yet committed to memory. More than 40 easy-to-make, easy-to-use games that provide engaging fact practice. More than 20 assessment tools that provide useful data on fact fluency and mastery. Suggestions and strategies for collaborating with families to help their children master the basic math facts. Math Fact Fluency is an indispensable guide for any educator who needs to teach basic math facts.

Help your students solve math facts with ease, speed, and accuracy Building Math Fluency, Grades 4-6+ reviews addition and subtraction strategies and presents multiplication and division strategies that help students approach computation in logical, strategic, and successful ways You'll love the ease and convenience of presenting each strategy--transparencies, teacher overview pages, student practice pages, reproducible number facts tests, and flashcards give you all the tools you need. Grades 4-6+ reviews addition and subtraction strategies and introduces new strategies such as: - Times 3 is double the number and one more set. - Times 4 is Times 2 + Times 2. - Times 5 is half of Times 10. - Times 7 is Times 5 + Times 2. - Times 8 is double Times 4 - See Times Nine, Think Times Ten and subtract Times 1 - Times 12 is Times 10 + Times 2 - Think multiplication for solve division problems. - To divide with remainders, think of the nearest multiplication fact

Because fluency practice is not a worksheet. Fluency in mathematics is more than adeptly using basic facts or implementing algorithms. Real fluency involves reasoning and creativity, and it varies by the situation at hand. Figuring Out Fluency in Mathematics Teaching and Learning offers educators the inspiration to develop a deeper understanding of procedural fluency, along with a plethora of pragmatic tools for shifting classrooms toward a fluency approach. In a friendly and accessible style, this hands-on guide empowers educators to support students in acquiring the repertoire of reasoning strategies necessary to becoming versatile and nimble mathematical thinkers. It includes: "Seven Significant Strategies" to teach to students as they work toward procedural fluency. Activities, fluency routines, and games that encourage learning the efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy essential to real fluency. Reflection questions, connections to mathematical standards, and techniques for assessing all components of fluency. Suggestions for engaging families in understanding and supporting fluency. Fluency is more than a toolbox of strategies to choose from; it’s also a matter of equity and access for all learners. Give your students the knowledge and power to become confident mathematical thinkers.

In this groundbreaking and highly practical book,Number Sense Routines: Building Numerical Literacy Every Day in Grades K-3, author Jessica Shumway proposes that all children have innate number sense which can be developed through daily exercise. Shumway createda series of math routines designed to help young students strengthen and build their facility with numbers. These quick 5, 10, or 15 minute exercises are easy to implement as an add-on to any elementary math curriculum. Understanding Number Sense: Students with strong number sense understand numbers, how to subitize, relationships among numbers, and number systems. They make reasonable estimates, compute fluently, use reasoning strategies, and use visual models to solve problems. Number Sense Routines supports the early learner by instilling the importance of daily warm-ups and explains how they benefit developing math minds for long-term learning. Real Classroom Examples: Shumway compiled her classroom observations from around the country. She includes conversations among students who practice number sense routines to illustrate them in action, how children's number sense develops with daily use, and math strategies students learn as they develop their numerical literacy through self-paced practice. Assessment Strategies: Number Sense Routines demonstrates the importance of listening to your students and knowing what to look for. Teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the underlying math skills and strategies students learn as they develop numerical literacy. Shumway writes, As you read, you will step into various classrooms and listen in on students' conversations, which I hope will give you insight into the power of number sense routines and the impact they have on students' number sense development. My hope is that going into the classroom, into students' conversations, and into their thought processes, you will come away with new ideas and tools to use in your own classroom.
