Number Talks
From pre-kindergarten to high school, students need frequent practice using their numeracy skills to solve problems. During five-to-ten minute number talks, students solve problems using mental math strategies and explain how they arrived at a solution. This reveals so much about how they think about numbers, including whether they grasp place value and whole or fractional number concepts. Number talks should be a routine in every math classroom. Join Kelly this summer for The First 25 Days in the Math Classroom to learn more about this critical maths learning routine.
