Episode 57 - How to Build Math Fluency

Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 57.  Today we are looking at How to Build Math Fluency. Building kids’ math fluency can impact everything they are going to learn in math. It all starts with understanding what fluency really entails, how to build that fluency when it comes to the basic facts, and what kinds of activities you can be doing to build true fluency for students.  That’s what you will get in the Building Math Fluency Starter Kit. I’ll link to it on the show notes page buildmathminds.com/57 or go to buildmathminds.com/fluencykit I’m going to read a section from the kit for today’s podcast.

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.
