Date: 2021-04-21

Student Success Goal: I know what it means to be fluent and why I will be glad to become fluent with adding and subtracting basic facts.

Pedagogy: You may want to watch this video and then sh are the ideas with your student(s) in your own way. Or feel free to show it to your students and then have a discussion about skills t hey are fluent with and want to become fluent with. Since fluency is one of the overarching goals for FactsWise (along with number sense in general), you may want to revisit and emphasize this goal with many of the fluency mini-lessons. Too many students think that the overarching goal of practicing their math facts is to be able to get the answers right and that can often lead them to become reliant on counting. Of course, we ant them to get the answers right, but we want them to be able to do this fluently!
