New Book and DVD

Number Talks: Helping Children Build Mental Math and Computation Strategies, Grades K–5

3 computational Goals
accuracy (self explanatory - often the sole focus)
efficiency the ability to choose an appropriate, expedient strategy for a specific computation problem
flexibility the ability to use number relationships with ease
(I would add a fourth, communication.)

tip: with weekly fluency tests, ask students to solve all problems 2 ways.
