Taylor-Cox emphasizes four main goals for math instructors. They must help students achieve: accuracy, efficiency, flexibility, and fluency in solving math problems. Integral to each of these goals is ensuring that students understand math concepts. Taylor-Cox writes, "When concepts are ignored and the focus is solely on rules and procedures, struggling students often develop misconceptions and learning gaps." Math Interventions: Building Number Power, Grades 3-5 provides math teachers with specific strategies for imparting those concepts.
