Using etudes, rather than exercises, to develop mathematical fluency
Dr Colin Foster If you want your students to develop fluency in essential mathematical processes, is there any alternative to subjecting them to large quantities of 'drill and kill' exercises? In this session, I will share some 'mathematical etudes', which are tasks intended to generate extensive practice in important mathematical processes but in ways that are more interesting than traditional exercises. We will have a go at some of these tasks together and discuss how such tasks can be designed…
