The Math Fluency Standard That Took 26 Years to Change (And Why It Matters)

After 26 years, Susan Jo Russell's three-part definition of math fluency - accuracy, efficiency, AND flexibility - is finally making its way into state math standards. In this episode, I break down why flexibility is the missing piece that separates students who are mindlessly following a procedure from students who think mathematically. Plus, find out how to help your students build that flexibility in your own classroom and school.
