Her most recent work has focused on fluency in mathematics, communicating that it is more than learning facts and algorithms, but is about being able to reason and choose appropriate strategies. Her books on fluency and on mathematics coaching are best sellers, as is her book Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally.
