Synopsis

This former Math Solutions publication is now published by Heinemann (9780325137490). Visit Heinemann.com/Math to learn more. 

Number Talks

1. A five- to fifteen-minute classroom conversation around purposefully crafted problems that are solved mentally.

2. The best part of a teacher’s day.

This dynamic multimedia resource was created in response to the requests of teachers—those who want to implement number talks but are unsure of how to begin and those with experience who want more guidance in crafting purposeful problems. It supports teachers in understanding:
• what a classroom number talk is;
• how to follow students’ thinking and pose the right questions to build understanding;
• how to prepare for and design purposeful number talks; and
• how to develop fractional reasoning and strategies for operating with fractions, decimals, and percentages.
 
Number Talks supports the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

Video Clips
The online video clips provide a visual platform for teachers to reflect on their current practices and target essential understandings from their readings.
