Here are the resources I mention for today’s webinar on Unpacking Research Claims About the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics with NCTM.

Description:

Multiple documents exist to help math teachers understand the research behind teaching and learning mathematics, from the CCSS to IES practice guides. Increasingly, math educators face seemingly contradictory recommendations, telling different stories about the best math instruction for students. In this session, Dr. Lambert explores how different research fields understand math, math learning, and math teaching differently and the contradicting claims about research that emerge. The intention is to help math leaders make sense of these complexities for themselves.

They are also starting to claim that the definition of fluency is only accuracy and speed instead of efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility. They are advocating for memorized facts. This is especially interesting because if you ask reading specialist who follow the science of reading what fluency is for reading, they say it is multiple factors (prosody, phrasing, accuracy, and comprehension). Why would math fluency be only about accuracy and speed, when reading fluency is not?
