(2015). 2019-05-23T23:36:52-07:00 endobj From the Common Core State Standards: Mathematical understanding and procedural skill are equally important, and both are assessable using mathematical tasks of sufficient richness. Procedural fluency and conceptual understanding are often seen as competing for attention in school mathematics. This is embodied in IM’s design principle, Developing Conceptual Understanding and Procedural Fluency: “As the unit progresses, students are systematically introduced to representations, contexts, concepts, language and notation. Conceptual understanding is knowing the procedural steps to solving a problem and understanding why those algorithms and approaches work, similar to a recognition that there is a man hiding behind the giant head in The Wizard of Oz. 599 0 obj This can be done through encouraging students to look at different ways to approach problems, connecting the mathematics learned to real world applications, and focusing on group work after students have had the opportunity to approach a problem individually. endobj endobj 561 0 obj Elicit and use evidence of student thinking.

They split students into two groups, keeping track of previous ability in mathematics, and administer a conceptual understanding intervention to one group and a procedural fluency intervention to the other group. Meaningful practice is necessary to develop fluency with basic number combinations and … CU helps students organizing their knowledge into a coherent whole, and PF helps them to find the right solution of a problem.
