Fluency in Math

This document discusses fluency in math and provides strategies to improve fluency. It defines fluency in math as the ability to quickly recall basic math facts through conceptual understanding, strategies, and memorization. Fast math tricks for multiplication and addition are presented. An activity called "Math War" is described where students compete to solve math problems and earn cards. Modifications and accommodations for students with different needs are suggested, such as providing lower-level math fact cards or allowing a multiplication chart. The goal is for all students to practice and improve their fluency.

Brenden Klish & Kaitlyn Calabrese
What is Fluency in Math?
◦ The ability to quickly recall addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division math facts through conceptual
learning, fact strategies, and memorization

Why could being fluent in math be important/useful?


Fast Math Tricks
◦ 9 Multiplication trick (1-10)
1. Look at your hands count however many fingers you are
multiplying by 9 and put that finger down.
2. The count of the number of fingers before that is the digits in the
tens place.
3. Count the fingers after and that is the digit in the ones place.
◦ Sum of tens digit and ones digit is always 9

◦ Addition Trick
1. Break number into place values
2. Perform operation when number is broken up
3. Add all broken parts up together
Activity- Math War

◦ Find a partner
◦ Place the cards face down, position yourself so both partners can see the card
◦ Turn over a card and solve the computation in your head
◦ After someone answers you may check the answer with a calculator
◦ If the answer is correct that partner takes the card
◦ After all cards are gone, the person with the most cards at the end wins
KAHOOT
Modification
◦ Student #1: Student has been identified with a Learning Disability.
The LD concerns are that the student needs time to process
directions, is reading two years below grade level, and the student’s
working memory is weak.
◦ For this student it would be a good modification for them to be
allowed to have a multiplication chart or cheat sheet during
activities. This would make the students be forced to do less
recall and focus on the math topics that are being taught
Accommodations
◦ General everyday accommodations #4: You will need to plan for two accommodations that
could be used during this lesson. These accommodations could be how you would scaffold for
a student(s) that is not understanding or that already knows the information.
◦ There will be one set of cards that has lower-level math facts that contain problems that a
students who may be not understanding or struggling to remember can use.
◦ If another accommodation was needed students could also play this game with the same
rules but using addition instead of multiplication
◦ There will be a set of harder high-level math facts containing upper-level multiplication for
students preforming at a higher level who already has their basic facts memorized.
