Teaching Basic Facts Effectively: Add Strategies and Subtract Timed Tests

June 17, 2019 7:00 p.m. | Speaker: Jennifer Bay-Williams and Gina Kling

Description: What does basic fact fluency really mean, and how can it be assessed? Authors Jennifer Bay-Williams and Gina Kling have helped teachers wrestle with these questions for years, sharing many ideas through articles in Teaching Children Mathematics and most recently in their book, Math Fact Fluency: 60+ Games and Assessment Tools to Support Learning and Retention. In this webinar, they will unpack their five fundamental aspects to effective instruction and assessment of basic facts, namely the following:

• Mastery must focus on fluency.
• Fluency develops in three phases.
• Foundational facts must precede derived facts.
• Timed tests do not assess fluency.
• Students need substantial and enjoyable practice.
