Editorial Projects in Education
Effective and data-driven math instruction can maximize student learning and achievement. This Spotlight will help analyze best practices for developing math word problems; explore how showing students both the correct and incorrect solutions can improve their understanding; investigate math 'fact fluency' and strategies for strengthening it; examine how math teachers approach problem-solving; and more. Articles in this Spotlight include: (1) Why Word Problems Are Such a Struggle For Students--And What Teachers Can Do (Sarah Schwartz); (2) Want to Boost Math Learning? Show Students the Wrong Answers (Sarah D. Sparks); (3) What Is Math 'Fact Fluency,' And How Does It Develop? (Stephen Sawchuk); (4) Kids Need to Know Their Math Facts. What Schools Can Do to Help (Stephen Sawchuk); (5) What Does Math Teaching Look Like in U.S. Schools? 5 Charts Tell the Story (Sarah Schwartz); and (6) Four Teacher-Recommended Instructional Strategies for Math (Larry Ferlazzo).
