S6-01: Defining math fluency

Math Teacher Lounge

Welcome to Season 6 of Math Teacher Lounge! This season, we’ll be digging deep into math fluency—exploring what it is, looking into the research around it, and sharing practical tips for building it in math classrooms.
Join us as we kick things off with Jason Zimba, Amplify’s chief academic officer of STEM! We sat down with Jason to get a clear understanding of what math fluency is and what we really mean when we talk about it. As a prominent math advocate with many years of experience, he can also help us learn just how important fluency is and how it fits into the standards.
