Procedural fluency is the ability to apply procedures efficiently, flexibly, and accurately; to transfer procedures to different problems and contexts; to build or modify procedures from other procedures; and to recognize when one strategy or procedure is more appropriate to apply than another (NCTM 2014, 2020; National Research Council 2001 ...

For young children, procedural fluency is the same thing as number sense. It is common for teachers to spend an entire year on just the numbers 1 through 10, as students are generally too young to have a reliable sense of quantity. The focus is on identifying numbers and beginning to understand what a number means. Children will often practice with...
Children vary in their development, but third grade is generally when students begin studying multiplication. This is the starting point for flexibility in computation, as students are not only composing and decomposing numbers, they are also adding, subtracting, and manipulating them. Memorization of multiplication facts does not need to be a majo...
During these grades, there is generally a shift where deeper mathematical ideas such as equations and ratios are formally explored. If students are still not fluent in basic arithmetic, these ideas will be hard to work with. Students are also building fluency with non-arithmetic procedures, such as using the distributive property or multiplying bin...

procedural fluency follows and builds on a foundation of conceptual understanding, strategic reasoning, and problem solving. To use mathematics effectively, students must be able to do much more than carry out mathematical procedures. They must know which procedure is appropriate and most productive in a given situation,
