Because fluency practice is not a worksheet.
Fluency in mathematics is more than adeptly using basic facts or implementing algorithms. It is not about speed or recall. Real fluency is about choosing strategies that are efficient, flexible, lead to accurate solutions, and are appropriate for the given situation. Developing fluency is also a matter of equity and access for all learners.
The landmark book Figuring Out Fluency in Mathematics Teaching and Learning offered educators the inspiration to develop a deeper understanding of procedural fluency, along with a plethora of pragmatic tools for shifting classrooms toward a fluency approach. Now, teachers have the chance to apply that inspiration through explicit instruction and practice every day with the classroom companion Figuring Out Fluency: Addition and Subtraction with Fractions and Decimals. With this book, teachers can:
Dive deeper into the Significant Strategies for fluency explained in the anchor book Learn how these strategies grow from and relate to the basic fact strategies children learn Access over 100 strategy-aligned and classroom-ready activities for fluency instruction and practice in adding and subtracting fractions and decimals, including worked examples, routines, games, and centers Find activities for assessing all components of addition and subtraction fluency for fractions and decimals, plus support for engaging families Download all of the needed support tools, game boards, and other resources from the companion website for immediate implementation.Give each and every student the knowledge and power to become skilled and confident mathematical thinkers and doers.

Integrate a holistic approach to mathematics success with essential personal and social skills
Teaching math is more than just numbers. It’s about shaping future-ready students who are not only academically strong but thrive socially and emotionally. Research shows that learning both intrapersonal and interpersonal skills helps students academically, and teachers play a crucial role in providing social-emotional support.
The Well-Rounded Math Student helps mathematics teachers in Grades K-12 foster both their students' academic prowess and their social and emotional development. Through the lens of the Standards for Mathematical Practice, the book emphasizes the importance of intentionally teaching and promoting intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, or "Next Generation" skills, alongside mathematical concepts. The authors provide step-by-step guidance on how small adjustments in lesson planning can have a profound impact on students' growth.
Providing teachers with a new lens to leverage in their planning as well as concrete ways to use their mathematics lessons to explicitly teach and reinforce social and emotional competencies, this book:
Holds a strengths-based mindset and approach—for both teachers and studentsHighlights the importance of the science and the art of teaching to enhance social development, human connection, classroom management, and community within classroomsStresses that the overarching goal of education is to help students become responsible adults who are ready for their futureIncludes a lesson planning guide, competency builder activities, vignettes of enhanced lessons across grade bands, reflection questions, and suggestions for taking actionThe Well-Rounded Math Student bridges critical intrapersonal and interpersonal elements to help educators create an environment where students excel in math and develop the life skills they’ll carry forever.
