When we talk about fluency, speed, and accuracy usually steal the spotlight, but there’s a lot more going on beneath the surface. In this episode, we unpack what true fluency really means and why it’s about more than just getting correct answers quickly.

You’ll learn about the four components of fluency, explore the phases students move through on their journey toward mastery, and reflect on what first and second-graders are actually expected to know by the end of the year.

We’ll also explore the early strategies students bring with them, and why it’s important to honor those approaches while gently guiding them toward more efficient ones.

This is the first episode in a two-part series designed to help you support meaningful, strategy-rich addition fluency in your classroom. Let’s slow down, go deeper, and give students the foundation they really need.
