A great article from Teaching Children Mathematics on achieving fact fluency in a humane way WITHOUT a bunch of timed tests. It is all about giving your students DAILY opportunities to discuss mathematics.


Alcumus: The Art of Problem Solving

alcumus

Alcumus is specifically designed to provide high-performing students with a challenging curriculum appropriate to their abilities.Ā 

Many of the problems are from major national math competitions such as MATHCOUNTS, MOEMS, the American Mathematics Competitions, and the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing competitions.Ā 

As the student gets stronger, Alcumus automatically provides more challenging material, and conversely, if the student is having difficulty with a particular topic, Alcumus provides additional practice.

Fact fluency for Addition & Subtraction

fact fluency add sub

Students must first conceptually understand the fact strategies (doubles, doubles plus one, combinations of ten, etc) BEFORE focusing on fluency and speed. Once the strategies are firmly in place, students can then begin to focus on fluency and speed.Ā

These Problems of the Month are organized Ā by grade level and main topic for that level. These gradeā€level expectations are just estimates and should not be used as an absolute minimum expectation or maximum limitation for students. The structure of a Problem of the Month is a low floor and a high ceiling, so that all students can productively engage, struggle, and persevere.
