The Critical Areas came first, then they created these Major Clusters. Use them to help design your school year. Your students should have 100% mastery of the "green bucket" items.
*Core Progressions--The Handbook of the Common Core math standards
*Grade Level Fluencies
kids who exhibit fluency:
-have a variety of strategies to solve problems
-should have 100% mastery
-kids need to have speed and accuracy with problems
Do you know what your grade level fluencies are???
