1. Implications for Assessment and SRBI

2. Three attempts to define Matrix Essay Checklist Fluency with basic facts goes through three stages Fluency with multi-digit numbers means the person is able to figure out the answer accurately in an efficient manner with understanding.

4. A person that is computationally fluent should be able to figure out most 2-digit addition and subtraction problems using mental math Can you figure out 45 + 38 mentally?

5. How about 71 – 47?

6. Teachers will need to learn to listen a lot more, because traditional assessments (paper and pencil, computer based) will not be enough This does not mean we will not continue to use paper and pencil and computer based assessments – we will. But we also will need to learn to listen as an assessment tool.

7. “Listening” is a teaching practice that can profoundly influence what students learn and how they see themselves as Mathematical thinkers. When you listen, kids learn to pay attention to their own thinking because they wonder, “ What are these ideas I have that are so interesting to my teacher?”

8. Developing the ability to listen to children’s thinking and use it to guide instruction takes time. (Empson and Jacobs, 2008)
