  • Fluency and flexibility with facts and counting strategies are critical skills based in the Common Core standards. We will share activities that build fluency and number sense through challenges that take the focus off the embedded practice and place it on problem solving. The activities provide differentiation and connect to the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
