Event Description
Figuring Out Fluency in Mathematics Grades 4 to 8 - Georgetown, KY -Dee Crescitelli (2024-25)
In this new professional learning event from the Kentucky Center for Mathematics (KCM), participants will examine what fluency is (and what it isn't) and explore how to teach and assess reasoning strategies critical for developing fluency. Fluency is much more than knowing facts and standard algorithms. Students in these transitional grades need to be able to use this knowledge for more advanced multiplicative and proportional reasoning. The facilitator of this event, KCM Director Dee Crescitelli, will teach participants how to enable their students to select efficient strategies and adapt as needed to persevere in problem solving. Participants will receive resources to support the teaching of fluency including Figuring Out Fluency in Mathematics Teaching and Learning by Jennifer Bay-Williams, a selection of companion books in the Figuring Out Fluency series, Cuisenaire Rods, and more! This professional learning event will meet for a total of 5 sessions: The first 3 sessions will meet in-person for full days, and the last 2 sessions will meet virtually via ZOOM for half-days. Participants are expected to attend all 5 sessions.
COST: $200 per participant
