Nimble Numeracy: Fluency in Counting and Basic Arithmetic

By Christopher Schmitt, Kyle Simpson, Schmitt

Book Overview

A handbook for teachers, tutors, and parents who want to help children develop fluent arithmetic skills. It provides explicit techniques for teaching counting within our base-ten place-value system, connecting the words, numerals, and numbers. Special emphasis is given to developing fluency with the language of numbers, including strategies for making these connections automatic in children who struggle with this task. Teaching the relationships among addition, subtraction, and missing addend statements leads to activities for developing automatic recognition of number facts. This approach is continued for multiplication and division. The activities presented are easy to do either with individuals or with groups.
