All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units Fluency Defined by the Publishers’ Criteria 4 “The word ‘fluently’ is used [in the standards] to set expectations for fluency.” (page 5) “Materials in grades K-6 help students make steady progress throughout the year toward fluent (accurate and reasonably fast) computation…. Progress toward these goals is interwoven with students’ developing conceptual understanding of the operations in question.” (page 10)

All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units Fluency – Sprints 23 Grade 2—Module 3 Fluency Progression A fast pace is essential. While administering Sprints, teachers assume the role of athletic coaches. A rousing routine fuels students’ motivation to do their personal best. Student recognition of increasing success is critical, and so every improvement is celebrated. One Sprint has two parts with closely related problems on each. Students complete the two parts of the Sprint in quick succession with the goal of improving on the second part, even if only by one more. With practice the routine takes about 8-10 minutes.

Intelligent design and sequence of delivery makes the Sprint superior to computer-generated worksheets. Sprints are aligned to individual lessons and topics and have been written to account for a large range of skill levels. Teachers are encouraged to study the sequence of problems in the Sprints from A Story of Units and create their own Sprints. Sprints do not have to be administered daily, but certainly can be done at least 2-3 times per week.

31. © 2012 Common Core, Inc. All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units Fluency Progressions in A Story of Units 31 Each module includes a Fluency Progression: Banks of activities that teachers may either select and use, or study as they create their own. Activities revisit previously learned material to develop automaticity, anticipate future concepts, and strategically preview or build skills for the day’s concept lesson. As teachers work with the materials, they should adjust them in consideration of their particular students’ needs.

32. © 2012 Common Core, Inc. All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units Key Points 32 Fluency standards exist for each grade. Fluency can be promoted in a variety of ways. Fluency work is usually included as a warm-up at the beginning of a lesson for approximately 10-20 minutes. A Story of Units provides frequent, rich opportunities for students to work toward achieving fluency. Fluency work often also provides opportunities to nurture the Standards of Mathematical Practice.

All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units A Call for Equal Intensity and Balance 34 The Instructional Shifts: “Students are practicing and understanding. There is more than a balance between these two things in the classroom – both are occurring with intensity. Teachers create opportunities for students to participate in ‘drills’ and make use of those skills through extended application of math concepts...”

35. © 2012 Common Core, Inc. All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units A Call for Equal Intensity and Balance 35 The Publishers’ Criteria: “To help students meet the expectations of the Standards, educators will need to pursue, with equal intensity, three aspects of rigor in the major work of each grade: conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and applications.” (page 5) “Materials and tools reflect the balances in the Standards…” (page 9)
