In an effort to help our students increase their capacity to stick with a problem and articulate their thinking while doing so, we can engage in daily Number Talks.
Some suggestions:
- Number talks should happen daily. I incorporated them into my daily morning routine. When lesson planning, I simply wrote in the problem I wanted to use each day.
- Number talks can be done with kids on the carpet, or at their desks. Even the big kids do like coming to sit together and it facilitates "elbow partner" conversations.
- Number talk problems DO NOT need to match your current math curriculum. In other words, even though I might be doing fractions, I am not going to offer that as a number talk problem, because the purpose of number talks is to allow students to make and break apart numbers using simple operations.
