If They Can Lose It, They Never Really Learned It.

If you know Pam Harris, you know she is all about reasoning. But you also know your students need to master their basic facts. And in the past this has often meant students resorting to drills. But what if we could have the best of both worlds - learning basic facts through reasoning?

Developing fact fluency is an integral part of elementary math instruction. It’s tempting to use flash cards or online platforms to learn them through rote-memorization and repetition because it feels quicker. But it often means students learn facts in disconnected ways without understanding the relationships between numbers and over time their memories fade, and this leads to learning loss.

So how can we effectively build all the mathematical reasoning necessary to master with understanding so many basic facts? This is what first drew Pam to NumberClub. For the first time, teachers had a tool to help students learn facts through reasoning because NumberClub games are both motivating and designed to promote mathematical reasoning. If students learn facts through reasoning they are not only more likely to remember them, they are more likely to be able to use them.

If you want this to be the year you decide to make the shift to learning basic facts through reasoning, this webinar is for you.

Where Gameplay Meets the DMR Framework

This webinar is a first of its kind. We're looking specifically at Pam Harris's Developing Mathematical Reasoning (DMR) Framework, which is a research-backed progression that maps out how mathematical thinking actually develops over time. And we’re looking at it through the lens of the NumberClub math games.

The games aren't just fun. They're building denser mathematical brains. In this webinar, you'll see how they build:

• Additive Reasoning — getting to know and love numbers up to 100, through the game "Brick Up”
• Multiplicative Reasoning — building a real facility with multiplication and division, through the game “Stick & Split”
• Advanced Multiplicative Reasoning with Prime Numbers — developing number flexibility and deep understanding of number structure, through the game “Number Ramble”
• Spatial Reasoning — how visual and geometric thinking supports fact fluency.
• Fact fluency through reasoning — genuine efficiency and understanding, not speed drills

When kids play NumberClub games, they're not just practicing. They're developing the kind of reasoning that carries them through all of mathematics.
