Episode 116 - Stop Teaching Strategies

I want all kids to have different strategies at their disposal to solve math problems.  However, the way our textbooks have us teach them to kids is overwhelming and confuses kids.  This episode is a clip from a webinar I did recently about The Missing Piece to Elementary Fact Fluency and part of the issue is that we are directly teaching kids so many strategies when instead we need to help kids develop them on their own.
