Episode 53 - Fluency is NOT just fast & accurate

Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 53.  Today we are looking at why Fluency is NOT Just Fast & Accurate. Over on my vlog I posted a video this week about how fast does not mean children are fluent.  As I was doing some research on this I came across a President’s Message by then NCTM President Linda Gojak.

Om Podcasten

The Build Math Minds podcast is for my fellow Recovering Traditionalists out there. If you don’t know whether or not you are a Recovering Traditionalist, here’s how I define us. We are math educators who used to teach math the traditional way. Flip lesson by lesson in the textbook, directly teaching step-by-step how to solve math problems. But now, we are working to change that to a style of teaching math that is fun and meets our students where they are at, not just teaching what comes next in the textbook. We want to encourage our students to be thinkers, problem solvers, and lovers of mathematics..we are wanting to build our students math minds and not just create calculators. If that is you, then this podcast is for you.
