Rerelease - Fluency in Mathematics (Nov. 2020)

With all the talk about NAPLAN, it seems like a great time to revisit the idea of fluency.

Mathstalk will be back with new episodes in 2 weeks.

Host Leanne McMahon is joined by AMSI Outreach Officer and MathsTalk Twitter chat host, Cass Lowry to discuss the idea of Mathematical Fluency. This conversation stems from a #MathsTalk Twitter chat on the same topic held on November 12th 2020 that led to spirited debate and some great ideas.
