WHY NUMBER TALKS?…
Number Talks will get your students engaged in mathematical conversations that will increase their ability to reason mathematically as well as develop their computational fluency skills and their ability to think flexibly about numbers.
But the BEST benefit is that it will turn your reluctant mathematicians into math lovers!
When students engage in this short daily activity, they communicate with their peers in a safe environment where it’s okay to not be right all the time. It’s okay to learn from each other.
They learn to discuss various strategies and the effectiveness of those strategies. They begin to take risks. And before you know it, your students who once feared math are joyfully jumping into solving problems with both feet.
It’s so exciting to see the transformation!
