Mathematics Fluency: A Balanced Approach The Hunt Institue – William MCCallum and Jason Zimba, Ph.D.

Why it is necessary to be fluent? Some of the sub-processes, particularly basic facts, need to be developed to the point that they are done automatically. If this fluent retrieval does not develop, then the development of higher-order mathematical skills, such as multiple digit addition and subtraction, and fractions--may be severely impaired (Resnick, 1983). Rapid math fact retrieval has been shown to be a strong predictor of performance on mathematics achievement tests (Royer, Tronsky, Chan, Jackson, & Marchant, 1999).
