The Math Puzzle
How to teach problem solving while building fact fluency?

Current research proposes that students demonstrate proficiency in computational fluency, understanding mathematical ideas and principals, reasoning and justifying mathematical statements, and knowing how to formulate and solve problems. (Ball, et.al) Teachers, however, are puzzled by how to create opportunities that address more than one of these needs at a time
