Winter 2011 Math News
Hello Parents and Teachers,
One of the foundations of numeracy is being able to solve simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division questions with ease and understanding.
Here are some strategies to improve your child or students fluency and understanding of basic operations.

STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT COMPUTATIONAL FLUENCY WITH UNDERSTANDING
Mental Math and Basic Facts
![Page 3: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Computational Fluency?
Computational fluency refers to having efficient and accurate methods for computing.
Students exhibit computational fluency when they demonstrate flexibility in the computational methods they choose, understand and can explain these methods, and produce accurate answers efficiently.
The computational methods that a student uses should be based on mathematical ideas that the student understands well.
![Page 4: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The acquisition of basic math facts should occur in the following three phases:
Phase I: Constructing operational meaning Phase II: Reasoning strategiesPhase III: Working toward quick recallThere is much overlap and students often can
work in multiple stages simultaneously and may move through the stages at different rates. Additionally, it is important to point out that these three phases are critical for each of the four basic operations. However, addition and subtraction may develop concurrently and the same can be said about multiplication and division.
![Page 5: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Phase 1 - What does that mean?
Students have to have a deep understanding of what numbers and operations are before being asked to use or memorize fact strategies
A student will struggle with memorizing facts if they are asked to do the same questions over and over without understanding the meaning and strategies for completing the operations
![Page 6: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Learning with understanding is more powerful than simply
memorizing because the act of organizing improves retention and
promotes fluency.

Phase 2 – The Strategies
Strategies are taught only after building understanding of the operations through hands on, pictorial and symbolic practice with operations.
Strategies may be discovered by students but other students will need direct instruction with these strategies.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT – it takes time to learn strategies. Be patient and think of the long term goals to teaching strategies -> Fluency with Understanding
Strategies like most math concepts should be taught with manipulatives, pictures and then symbolically

Addition Strategies
Turn Around FactsIf you know 5 + 4 = 9, then you know 4 + 5 = 9. When adding, the order doesn’t matter. + = + 5 + 4 = 4 + 5
Commutative Property
![Page 10: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Facts with ZeroWhen adding zero to any number, the sum is the other addend.
Examples: 7 + 0 = 7 0 + 5 = 5
Identity Property of Addition
![Page 11: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Count Up(One-/Two- More Than)
When an addition problem contains a 1 or 2, we can use this strategy. Start by whispering the greater addend and count on the other addend.
Example: 2 + 6 = 8 Start at 6 and count up 7, 8.
![Page 12: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DoublesWhen an addition problem contains two numbers that are the same we recognize this as a doubles problem. These are memorized facts. You can use visual clues to help you.
Example: 4 + 4 = 8
![Page 13: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Near DoublesWhen an addition problem contains consecutive numbers on a number line, double the smaller addend and add 1.
4 + 5 = 4 + 4 +1 = 8 + 1 = 9
![Page 14: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Decompose (Decomposing is what allows make-ten and near doubles to work.)
Break down the addends and add the pieces back together.
Example: 11 + 4 = (10 + 1) + 4 = 10 + (1 + 4) = 10 + 5 = 15
Associative Property
![Page 15: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sums of 10This group includes all facts with a sum of 10. Picture the Ten Frame when solving.
Examples: 7 + 3 = 10 2 + 8 = 10
![Page 16: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Make-Ten (Use the Ten Frame) This strategy works well with at least one addend of 8 or 9. When adding 9, picture a Ten Frame. Take one away from the other addend and move it over in your mind. For 9 + 6 think: 9 in the ten frame means that I need one more to make ten. If I move one from the 6 over, I have 5 left. So I can add 10 + 5 and that equals 15. 9 + 6 has the same sum as 10 + 5Do the same for 8, except you have 2 open in the Tens Frame.
![Page 17: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Making 10 ExamplesWe can find the answer to this fact
by making ten.5 + 6
![Page 18: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Place the larger number in a ten frame.
5 + 6
![Page 19: Winter 2011 Math News](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814a58550346895db77e35/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Use part of the other number to fill the ten frame.
5 + 6

Then you can look at what is left outside the ten-frame and tell
what the answer is.5 + 6 = 10 + 1 =
11

Phase 3 – Working Towards Quick Recall
Students must know all the facts or strategies to find all the facts before emphasis on speed is placed
Quick recall of math facts is usually defined as the ability to solve a basic number computation in a few seconds or less (without resorting to inefficient methods like counting)..
Phase III is simply about increasing a student’s quick recall. Spending more time in Phase III will not lead to quick recall of unknown facts.
Successfully addressing Phases I and II will significantly decrease the need for prolonged work in Phase III. This involves: increasing the speed in which the student selects and applies a strategy for solving the
problem and using highly organized and planned practice for the purpose of devoting facts to
memory. Phase III may include practice (and/or drill) with specific groups of
facts through fact cards, games, paper/pencil practice, and the use of technology. Once students acquire the ability to quickly recall the facts, Phase III focuses on maintenance of the facts.
