BENEFITS
- Organized by Common Core Standard making it the EASIEST WAY EVER to find a “talk” to support what you are teaching.
- DIGITAL and a PRINTABLE version included. The Digital Version is ZERO PREP and the directions are written right on the slides.
- Perfect Supplement to any core math program.
- Gets students THINKING by including a variety of open-ended prompts and/or problems with multiple possible answers.
- Conversational Nature supports learners at all levels. Students LOVE them! And they are so easy to use.
HOW TO USE
Display the number talk, read the question prompt aloud, provide time for students to figure out the answer on their own and share it with a partner, and facilitate a discussion. It’s so easy and so effective!

OUR STORY
A few years ago we were asked to implement number talks in our daily math instruction. After engaging our students in a few of these activities, we were hooked. One of our goals then became to create standard specific number talks. We needed to be able to grab number talks that addressed specific math standards we were working on in our math program (such as Making a Ten to increase computational fluency). Including these number talks in our instruction made a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE! We then realized that if the “talking” format of number talks is so powerful for increasing computational fluency, then it will work for Geometry and Measurement concepts too. So we began making “talks” that cover other math areas as well. We are so glad we did, because they work!

FAQ
How long do number talks take?
It is best if Number Talks are done daily for 5 to 15 minutes.
Can these number talks be displayed on an interactive whiteboard?
Yes! In fact, a digital version is included that allows you to write right on the slide using PowerPoint (directions, if needed, are included).
Should I teach them in a specific order?
No. They are designed to be a “bank” of number talk resources that you can grab from when you want to preview or review concepts you are teaching during your core math instruction.
Do I have to print out number talk materials for each student each day?
NO. This is a whole group activity. Just display the number talk for everyone to see.
Wishing you joyful engagement in your primary classroom!
