Introduction

Definition: The Number Talks strategy emphasizes mental math and mathematical discussion, fostering conceptual understanding over rote memorization.Purpose: Number Talks are aimed at improving student reasoning, fluency, and flexibility with numbers in a low-stakes, discussion-rich environment

GOAL OF NUMBER TALKS

share and discuss

Multiple strategies are shared, debated, and discussed in an open, non-judgmental environment

number talks in k-2

Example: Simple addition using mental strategies (e.g., 8 + 7).Activity: A teacher presents an addition problem, and students share different strategies like "making ten" by breaking numbers down (e.g., 8 + 2 + 5)

Number talks in 3-6

Example: Multiplication (e.g., 8 x 7).Activity: Teachers might focus on strategies like breaking apart numbers (8 x 7 can become 8 x 5 + 8 x 2)​ Example: Fractions

Practice Number Talk: Teachers simulate a Number Talk by solving a simple math problem collectively, sharing strategies, and reflecting on student responses. This activity helps teachers experience facilitating mathematical discourse
