Proficiency in math is something we talk a lot about in education, but do we actually know what it means? In the report Adding It Up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics the authors offer up a definition of Math Proficiency called "The 5 Strands of Math Proficiency". It is depicted as a rope with 5 strands. In this episode we will break down what math proficiency is and how we can help our students be proficient in math. 

In this episode we will honestly chat about:

  • The problem in America with Math Proficiency
  • A definition of Proficiency in Math 
  • The 5 Strands of Math Proficiency
