Contra Costa & Sacramento County Offices of Education Present:
Building Fact Fluency In A Virtual Space
with Graham Fletcher
When we ask students to memorize their facts, we are essentially asking them to memorize over 100 isolated equations. This approach doesn't allow students to explore the relationships between numbers that are foundational to mathematics. In this session, we'll explore the important role that context plays in developing fact fluency. By purposefully sequencing a series of tasks and activities through the same context, students can begin to make connections and develop an understanding that is scalable way beyond single digits.
Audience: K-6 teachers, instructional coaches, and administrators.
Date/Time: Tuesday, February 2, 2021, 3:30 - 4:30 pm ***
Cost: FREE (Contra Costa County Office of Education & Sacramento County Office of Education are co-sponsoring this event.)
Registration is required, link will be sent via email.
