Riassunto

In this new book from popular consultant and bestselling author Dr. Nicki Newton, you’ll discover how to use Math Running Records to assess students’ basic fact fluency and increase student achievement. Like a GPS, Math Running Records pinpoint exactly where students are in their understanding of basic math facts and then outline the next steps toward comprehensive fluency. This practical book introduces a research-based framework to assess students’ thinking and move them toward becoming confident, proficient, flexible mathematicians with a robust sense of numbers.

Topics include:

• Learning how often to administer Math Running Records and how to strategically introduce them into your existing curriculum;
• Analyzing, and interpreting Math Running Records for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division;
• Using the data gathered from Math Running Records to implement evidence-based, research-driven instruction.
• Evaluating students’ speed, accuracy, flexibility, and efficiency to help them attain computational fluency;

Each chapter offers a variety of charts and tools that you can use in the classroom immediately, and the strategies can easily be adapted for students at all levels of math fluency across grades K-8. Videos of sample running records are also available for download at https://guidedmath.wordpress.com/math-running-records-videos.

Recensione

"Math Running Records are indispensable tools that allow us to zoom in on exactly where each child is on the math development progression and provide us with the roadmap to forward each of them on their math journey starting with the first early numeracy skills and progressing to multiplication and division strategic thought as well. It is not an understatement to say that, with the help of Newton's book, implementing math running records will change everything and will be the key to developing confident, flexible math thinkers who are prepared to take on the more sophisticated math concepts that lie ahead!" -- Ann Elise Record, Math Specialist at Hillside and Brown Elementary Schools, NH

"Dr. Nicki Newton provides the missing link between concept learning and memorization of the basic math facts. This instructional link, fact reasoning strategies, is essential to fact fluency development. Math Running Records are a research tool that authentically assesses fact fluency. Each chapter offers practical charts, activities, and tools that emphasize the development and application of strategies. Fluency doesn't just happen; it needs to be purposely practiced." -- Celeste Beaulieu, Instruction Math Specialist at Wells Elementary School, ME
