Looking for a powerful routine to get your students thinking and communicating mathematically?
A new school year is a great time to try a new routine! Number talks is one of my personal favorites and one that will give you a lot of "bang for your buck." Number talks is a powerful routine to help students develop flexibility with numbers and solve basic problems without using paper-and-pencil. In addition, students increase their ability to articulate their thinking and refine their mathematical communication skills through the use of number talks.
