About this Event
According to NCTM's position paper on procedural fluency, "procedural fluency is the ability to apply procedures efficiently, flexibly, and accurately; to transfer procedures to different problems and contexts; to build or modify procedures from other procedures; and to recognize when one strategy or procedure is more appropriate to apply than another."
This course will focus on the four declarations in this position paper, including:
- Conceptual understanding must precede and coincide with instruction on procedures.
- Procedural fluency requires having a repertoire of strategies.
- Basic facts should be taught using number relationships and reasoning strategies, not memorization.
- Assessing must attend to fluency components and the learner.
