The Kaplan Approach to Math Instruction
The Kaplan Path to Math Proficiency focuses learning in four key areas that work together to form strong math skills:
| (1) Conceptual Understanding | • Comprehending mathematical concepts, operations, and relations • Supports retention of new math concepts and problem-solving approaches • Supports fluency with math facts and procedures |
| (2) Fluency | • The ability to carry out mathematical procedures efficiently and accurately • Applies to fluency with basic math facts like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and to fluency with computation and procedures • Required to learn and understand many math concepts |
| (3) Reasoning | • Using logic to explain and justify a solution to a math problem • Talking about the math concepts and procedures used to solve a problem and providing good reasons for using this approach |
| (4) Application | • Ability to form, represent, and solve problems mathematically • Often referred to as "problem solving" and "problem formulation" • Using conceptual and procedural knowledge to solve problems |
