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
ACTIVITY
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
