What is next number fluency?
Use these Next Number Fluency Flash Cards to practice the number sense skill of automatically identifying the next number for numbers up to 100. One number is presented at a time, and students are to quickly determine the next number in sequence.
How do you teach number fluency?
Build Number Sense with Place Value Activities
- Practice making groups of ten things.
- Teach counting by 10’s to count groups.
- Make groups of ten to get to the 100th day.
- Show and examine a tens block and ones block.
- Use base ten blocks to represent numbers.
- Say “Show (or draw) me 14 with place value blocks!”
How can I help my child improve computational fluency?
Discussions and word problems are often successful at helping students develop computational fluency when paired with another learning tool, think alouds. A think aloud can be either when a teacher shows students how to approach and solve a problem or when students demonstrate to other students how to solve a problem.
What are Fluencies?
Fluency is defined as the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. In order to understand what they read, children must be able to read fluently whether they are reading aloud or silently. When reading aloud, fluent readers read in phrases and add intonation appropriately.
How can I improve my childs number sense?
Here are some examples:
- Practice counting and grouping objects. Then add to, subtract from, or divide the groups into smaller groups to practice operations.
- Work on estimating.
- Talk about relationships between quantities.
- Build in opportunities to talk about time.
How can I improve my number sense at home?
Here are some ideas to promote number sense at home:
- Count. Have your child count anything and everything!
- Counting on. Have your child add two groups of objects together.
- Make 10.
- Skip count.
- Make a number using objects.
- Group items by characteristics and count/compare.
- Estimate.
- Even or odd?

What is the key to fluency in mathematics?
As with much of mathematics, the key to fluency is in making connections, and making them at the right time in a child’s learning. We learn by moving from the concrete to the abstract and structured apparatus such as Dienes can be helpful for learning about place value or number bonds.
Can computational fluency with whole numbers be developed in elementary grades?

Why is fluency in computation important in primary schools?
Primary teachers know that fluency in computation is important. Recent national initiatives have emphasised this – for example in the Numeracy Framework where mental calculation strategies were given new prominence. Most schools now have a calculation policy which includes both mental and written methods.
