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. Our challenge then became to create a variety of problem types in order to keep students engaged and excited about number talks. And that is when this number talk program was born.
Word problems prove to be challenging for first graders. For this reason we created the word problem number talks to give students the opportunity to engage in word problems in a way that is stress-free and engaging.
