HERE'S WHAT TEACHERS LIKE YOU ARE SAYING:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"THANK YOU SO MUCH for providing scripted number talk lesson plans! My district started number talks a couple of years ago. However, we were just given a guide that explained what number talks are but no direction in how to lead them or what should be covered. Your product at least gives me direction of what I should be doing every day! I can't wait to start! Thank you for helping me do my job in a way that I now feel confident and prepared to do! I also appreciate that it is geared specifically for kindergarten so I don't have to water it down for my class! I APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK AND TIME THAT WENT INTO THIS PROJECT!" -Lisa

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I am SO excited to implement this into my Math block!! I LOVE how each unit gets more rigorous and builds upon skills. This was exactly what I was looking for my Math talks!" -Debbie

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I could not love this more. I use it every day. it makes number talks a breeze in the classroom. Worth every penny!" -Gail B.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

BENEFITS

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 joyfully jump into solving problems with both feet. It's so exciting to see the transformation!

WHY DID WE CREATE THIS RESOURCE?

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 and excited about number talks. And that is when this number talk program was born.

THIS RESOURCE IS HELPFUL FOR:

► Busy Kindergarten Teachers
► Substitute Teachers
► Special Education Teachers
► Whole Group Math Instruction
► Small-Group Math Instruction
► Math Intervention
