AGENDA Do Now What is a Number Talk? 5 Key Components Signals Teacher Questioning and Talk Moves Whole Group Practice Exit Ticket
Solve Mentally…no paper or pencil! 45 x 12
What is a Number Talk? A short, on-going daily routine of meaningful practice of mental math computation fluency
Guidelines 10 to 15 minutes every day Everyday Whole Group Away from "normal" desk
Talk Moves Revoicing: So what you are saying is… Repeating: Can you tell me what J said in your own words? Reasoning: Do you agree with J? Why or why not? Adding On: Can you help or continue what J is saying? Wait Time: Give them time to think!
5 Key Components of Number Talks Classroom environment Discussions Teacher roles Mental math role Purposeful computation (making 10, friendly numbers, double and half, break apart (decompose), number lines)
Signals Thinking I have an answer I have a strategy, 2,3 I agree
Practice
Subitizing rapid, accurate and confident judgment of number performed for small number of items
