Students are to analyze the equations and decipher if they are true or false, then share how they know. What strategies did they use to figure it out?

All you need to do is copy the materials (or display them on your interactive whiteboard) and get your students engaged in amazing mathematical student-to-student interaction! Our students have LOVED this daily routine, and math has become a favorite part of their day.

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 challenges then became to create number talks that addressed mathematical misconceptions our students had. The true mathematical meaning of the equal sign is one that many first graders struggle with. Hence, this product was born.

 

THIS RESOURCE IS HELPFUL FOR:

-Busy First Grade Teachers
-Substitute Teachers
-Special Education Teachers
-Whole Group Math Instruction
-Small Group Math Instruction
-Math Intervention
-Kindergarten Teachers with Advanced Students
-Second Grade Teachers Who Still Struggle with the Meaning of the Equal Sign
