Take a look at the SCASD fluency expectations, and then at the results shared last night at the Board meeting:
The fluency expectation for grade 2 is mastery of addition AND subtraction facts through 20. That means that all grade 3 students should easily have been able to complete all addition banks – certainly by April. Only 28% have completed addition, and a mere 16% have finished subtraction.
The fluency expectation for grade 4 is mastery of multiplication facts through 12×12. That means that all grade 5 students should easily have been able to complete all multiplication banks at the start of the online evaluation in November. Even by April, only 46% has mastered each bank. I don’t think there is a need to “investigate” the cause – Investigations IS the cause!
