Dr. Juli Dixon and The Fact Tactics Fluency Program – Math: Universally Speaking
In this episode of Math: Universally Speaking, I am joined by Dr. Juli Dixon to discuss the framework behind The Fact Tactics Fluency Program. We explore how to move beyond rote memorization by focusing on the meaning of multiplication and the properties of operations. Juli explains how her program helps students transition from basic additive thinking to true multiplicative reasoning, ensuring they have a solid foundation for more advanced mathematics.We take a deep dive into the six specific tactics that drive the program: Grounding, Linking, Strategic Repetition, Review, Assessment, and Extension. This episode isn't just about theory—it’s about giving you high-impact strategies to build fluency while engaging students to take ownership of their own progress. Listen to the full episode now to discover Juli’s practical roadmap for transforming your approach to multiplication facts and challenging every learner in your classroom.
