Computational Fluency

Computational fluency with whole numbers is an essential goal for school mathematics and forms the foundation for many higher level math concepts. The Common Core State Standards address whether students can perform calculations and solve problems quickly and accurately, as can be seen in the following table.

Grade	Required Fluency
K	Add and subtract within five
1	Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10.
2	Add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. Add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
3	Multiply and divide within 100. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers. Add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
4	Add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers
5	Multiply multi-digit whole numbers

Fact Fluency Cards

Print the labels on adhesive labels (Avery 5160) and stick on blank index cards. Each card should have a problem on the front and the problem with the answer on the back.

Common Core Mathematics Explained

Mathematics Common Core Video: Click HERE

This 14-minute video provides an overview of the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics. NYS Commissioner of Education John B. King Jr. and contributing author David Coleman discuss the background of the Common Core State Standards, their value in the state, the principles of their development, and the changes required of schools during this transition. The video provides an introduction or re-introduction to the standards, as well as fodder for a discussion about what it will mean to implement these standards.
