Teaching Tips

Build conceptual understanding before pushing for speed. Use manipulatives to make regrouping concrete. Connect addition to real-world situations frequently. Teach multiple strategies and let students choose what works for them. Practice fact fluency regularly but briefly.

Quick assessment ideas

Give timed fact fluency checks appropriate to grade. Include word problems to assess application. Ask students to explain their thinking or show work in multiple ways. Have students estimate before calculating and compare. Use error analysis: show incorrect work and ask students to find and fix mistakes.
