Who is the Fast and Slow poster for?

Fast and Slow is filed under Pre-Kindergarten (ages 3–4), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting math, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.

When should you use the Fast and Slow poster?

Move like each one — run like a cheetah, then creep like a snail. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Fast and Slow belongs on the wall where that math work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
