About this episode

Jenny Bay-Williams and John SanGiovanni join Latrenda and Dewey to discuss building numeracy, strategic fluency, and student agency. They explore why fluency isn’t about memorization or speed drills, how “think time” and classroom routines support reasoning, and how giving students a repertoire of strategies helps them make more confident choices in math.
