Help support Ms. Gonzalez's Classroom

The ability to recall basic math facts quickly, accurately and effortlessly is an essential component of students' math knowledge. The lack of fact fluency can make processing of more complex math problems and situations difficult. Recent research shows that importance of fact fluency as a foundation for difficult math and can be a predictor of future math success. For these reasons, fact fluency is a important component of our math curriculum. We will use Nikki Newton's researched based resource "Math Running Records in Action" to build fact fluency with our first through fourth graders. Teachers will use running records to indicate weaknesses and strengths of all four operations. Homework will be individualized for each student so that parents can review facts by strategy. In the classroom, teachers will use workstations that we will create for each strategy and for each operation. As a school we will assign twenty minutes per day for each classroom teacher to work on fact fluency in workstations and small group instruction. As students grow in their learning, it will be monitored with charts, graphs and teacher data.
