Design #1: Math Talk
When this math talk bulletin bulletin board is complete, it states, "Let's talk MATH" above a giant speech bubble. Inside the speech bubble, you can write math talk conversation starters (also called accountability phrases) that you want your students to use throughout the year in math.
What is math talk?
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) defines math talk as "the ways of representing, thinking, talking, and agreeing and disagreeing that teachers and students use to engage in [mathematical] tasks" (NCTM, 1991). Math talk is, essentially, students and teachers communicating about math.
To help students communicate during math, you can display some conversation starters. When students use these phrases correctly, it pushes them to prove their answers and to think about the various strategies that can be used to solve math problems. These conversation starters can be written in the large, white speech bubble, or, I have included six mini speech bubbles that you can display instead. They state:
-"I agree because..."
-"I respectfully disagree because..."
-"I can prove my thinking..."
-"Why did you choose to do that?"
-"Another strategy you can use is..."
"I solved this problem by..."
If you prefer to use your own conversation starters, I have included blank speech bubbles. You could have the students help write in these speech bubbles. I have also included editable speech bubbles if you want to type your own accountability phrases. Just open up the PPT document and type your phrases directly onto the speech bubbles.
If you choose to use the large, white speech bubble, you can display vocabulary posters next to it. I have included vocabulary posters for the following terms: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
If you like the speech bubble, but don't plan on using Math Talk in your classroom, I have included letters to create: "Our objective." Just laminate the speech bubble and then you can write the students' daily math objective using dry erase markers.
Design #2: MATH KEY WORDS
Once this bulletin board is complete, it displays key words for the following operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Design #3: KNOW YOUR FACTS
This design displays multiplication facts for the numbers 1-12 in a fun way.
**Instructions on how to set up each design is included!!**
