Adding It Up The National Academies Press “Procedural Fluency- -skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently, and appropriately.”
Fourth Grade • M.4.OA.4 fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Developing Fluency • Help children develop a strong understanding of number relationships within the operations. • Develop efficient strategies for fact retrieval through practice. • Then provide drill in the use and selection of those strategies once they have been developed. John A. Van de Walle & LouAnn H. Lovin
From Memory ≠ Memorize M.2.OA.2 fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies and by end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. M.3.OA.7 fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations and by the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
Fifth Grade • M.5.NBT.5 fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

Number Talks • Number talks are short conversations centered around purposefully crafted computation problems.
Key Components Number Talks • Classroom environment and community • Classroom discussions • The teacher’s role • The role of mental math • Purposeful computation problems
Classroom Environment Quiet Thumbs Up Me Too Strategy—Quiet Thumbs Up Me Too!
Number Talks in Action • Select several problems for the participants complete as a number talk.
Create Number Talks • Create Number Talks for the first week of school. • Practice with a partner.
Teaching Basic Facts What to do--- WhatNOTto do--- Don’t use lengthy timed tests Don’t use public comparisons of mastery Don’t proceed through all facts all at once Don’t move to memorization to soon Don’t use facts as a barrier to good mathematics Don’t use fact mastery as a prerequisite for calculator use • Ask students to self-monitor • Focus on self-improvement • Drill in short time segments • Work on facts over time • Involve families • Make drill enjoyable • Use technology • Emphasize the importance of quick recall of facts
