Number Talks (Kindergarten, 1st Grade & 2nd Grade) offer students to opportunity to share their math thinking, hear others’ thinking, try on new ideas, ask questions, and make connections. The foundation for Number Talks is collaboration, reasoning, and community. As teachers we’re now considering how we can leverage online tools to continue this daily routine even when students aren’t physically on our carpets.

Giving Grace
Transitioning to online learning there are a lot of balls in the air, many competing priorities. So, take a moment and take a breath. Offer yourself and your students grace in this experience. In this post, I’ll be highlight a variety of options of getting students talking numbers. Pick the one or the pieces of several that work for you and your students. DO NOT feel compelled to try ALLTHENEWTHINGS.
What’s the Goal?
Are any of these methods perfect? Nope. That’s okay. We are not seeking perfect. So, when considering any routine you continue or introduce in the coming weeks, let’s consider – What is the goal?
When I think about talking numbers in the classroom and through remote learning, I know they will provide students –
- the opportunity to talk about math in a structured way
- some normalcy in their daily or weekly routine, even if for 10-15 minutes
- the chance connect with one another
- to apply their math thinking in a variety of ways
Access to math content, safety in routine, collaboration – all things I value and are worth the effort of trying to figure out a talking numbers routine that works for us.

Leveraging Pre-established Number Talks Routines
Leveraging the technology and routines that are already in place offers students some predictability, control, and familiarity to their day. How might we leverage preexisting talking number routines?
- Silent Signals —> Using Google Meet or Zoom, students can use these signals vis video to communicate with you and their classmates. Bonus option: Use Google Meet Grid View and your class turns into the Brady Bunch.
- Teacher Scribing —> Host a live talking numbers prompt with you as the teacher recording.
- Math Journals —> If you are already using math journals, have students continue. Writing responses by hand, students can take a picture of the work, and adding it to Slides or Seesaw.
- Building off of Peers —> using Slides or Flipgrid students have access to others’ feedback and responses.
Live – Zoom or Google Meet Sharing Screen
We’ll start with the least tech of all option and gradually become more involved. There is NO shame in staying low-tech. At all. You might start low-tech and consider adding a new element or tool to your belt every week.
Host a live video with you students via Zoom or Google Meet. Screenshot (command + shift + 4 on a Mac) the tasks of the day and insert them on Google Slides. Then, share your screen with students. Have students use silent signals to indicate their readiness to share and just have a great math conversation. Students might also type into the chat box to add-on to others to share ideas. Going this route, students are hearing the thinking of others, not necessarily seeing. And that is okay. This is a great way to establish talking number procedures, get students use to the routine, connect face-to-face, and start in a non-threatening way (for you and your students)!
Live with a Whiteboard
The least involved or teach-heavy routine, would be this one. It would be a great first step in establishing number talks via remote learning avenues. Students log into Zoom or Google Hangout. You, the teacher, do the same keeping the camera on you. Then, using chart paper attached to a wall, an easel, or a white shower (dry erase markers work on this surface and easily erase), record student thinking about a problem. You can use a second device (phone) or share your screen to display the problem or task to students.
You can see this simple routine modeled by me (with adults) here.
Using Google Draw
Open Google Draw, Insert a screenshot of the prompt or task of the day, and share your screen on Meet. On Meet students will still see you face and see your screen. Then, as students share their thinking, record it on Google Draw. To access the drawing tool, you’ll go to “Insert” —> “Line” —> “Scribble or Curve”. You’ll use it as an interactive white board and voila! (Note – This option involves no shame or insecurity. It’s HARD to recording student thinking with a track pad, so your handwriting may look like a hot mess. It’s the name of learning. Breathe and move on. (Note – If you are using a touchscreen Chomebook, iPad or a stylus this options is infinitely easier and less messy. 🙂
Collaborative Google Slide or Google Drawing
Using Slides or Draw, screenshot a talking numbers prompt (Kindergarten, 1st Grade & 2nd Grade) and add it to the first page/slide. Share that same link with all students (via Remind, Dojo, Google, Classroom, or the chat box on Zoom or Meet.) Then, adding multiple slides or pages, students can upload pictures (i.e. show they’re thinking on paper at home, take a picture, and upload), audio, or text. Using Text + Comment (a Google extension) you can add built-in audio comments and feedback for students. So, there is no live conversation for this avenue, it does allow all students to share their thinking in a way that meets the needs of them and their families, as well as, provides us – as teachers – a simple avenue for giving feedback. (Snag the 2nd Grade Talking Number prompts here.)
Number Talks via Flipgrid
Flipgrid is an always-free avenue that allows students to post short videos and give feedback to their friends. Creating a class account allows you to control who sees FlipGrids, as well as, create threads for different subjects. Create a “Number Talks” thread and you’re ready to begin.
The process for Number-Talking on Flipgrid might look something like this –
- Create an introduction video for the task. Show the problem or thinking stem.
- Students think and respond via video (can be used on an iPad, phone, or computer).
- Ask students to view and leave feedback/comments on the thinking of at least 2-classmates.
Using Flipgrid is a great way to scaffold giving feedback, allows all students to have an access point and a voice in the math thinking, as well as, offers you the chance to “see” and hear from your students. Families have access to Flipgrid, so they can easily support and check-in on this growing board.
Additionally, when using Flipgrid consider adjusting the rubric or “grading” to meet your needs. When I’ve posted number talks via FlipGird these are the things I am looking for –
- math vocabulary
- thinking not just procedures
- easy to understand
- accuracy
Leveraging SeeSaw for Individual Number Talk Responses
Using SeeSaw eliminates the collaborative nature of number talks AND it’s a great way for students to share their own math thinking. You’ll post the math task or prompts. Then, students can record, write, or take pictures of their work and thinking. As you are checking-in with students, it’s the perfect thing to pull for 1:1 video conferences or phone calls. Is it a true number talk? Nope. Is is a great option? Absolutely.
Friends – there is no perfect answer for digitizing our classrooms…especially with almost no resources or notice. So, what do we do? We take it bit-by-bit. We leverage the routines we’ve previously established and tools are students are already familiar with. From there, we take small steps in trying things out and self-correcting. This is a process of us being constantly in Beta. IT can be frightening and bring a sense of failure, but it’s not. Working in Beta just means we are constantly improving, trying new ideas, and learning from previous experiences.
Do you have any other ideas for during number talks digitally? If so, I’d love to hear your ideas!

I saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency about two months ago and I took my chance. I contacted a broker who I saw videos on youtube and I invested a huge sum of money around £65,000 which was deposited using Bitcoin with hopes to gain massive returns on my investment. I kept tracking my portfolio and it was increasing daily on the website. It made me excited and confident. Fast forward to 30 Days after, which was supposed to be my payout date, I tried to make a withdrawal as I needed money to foot my bills and buy my new house, but the broker insisted that I continue to invest or will have to pay some fees to withdraw my funds. That was very disappointing to hear, because it was all going smoothly when I deposited the funds. Eventually, I paid the fees which was about £45,800. I was desperate now because according to my portfolio, I had made about £111,400. Now you see why I was willing to pay the fees. It turned out it was a scheme to keep asking me for more money for one thing or the other, like Taxes, miner fees and so many others. I declined, and instead I won’t pay more. They locked my account for several weeks. A month after, I saw a post about Asset Hacker cyber security company which stated they were capable of getting my money recovered. With a little faith in me, I contacted them immediately, and discussed my situation, and sent all the information I had.
In less than a week, I was able to recoup my BTC. I praise the universe for sending them my way. I wish to recommend them to everyone out there. they are capable of recovery any crypto coins Bitcoin, Usdt ,Eth, Dogecoin, now i have my funds back with there guidelines and skills you can always contact them via

When things come to trading in the high-stakes world of cryptocurrency, many investors are turning to cryptocurrency trading bots to stay ahead of the game. These bots automate trading operations based on predefined strategies, taking the human error and emotion out of the equation. The magic lies in their ability to execute trades at lightning speed, something no human can match. AI trading bots, also known as algorithmic trading bots or robo-advisors, take this a step further by using advanced algorithms and predefined rules to make smarter trading decisions. In the realm of forex trading, these bots have gained immense popularity for their efficiency and precision. Despite their advantages, many traders hesitate to use them, often due to a lack of understanding or fear of technological complexity. However, those who embrace these bots often see impressive earnings, influenced by factors like market conditions, bot settings, and the underlying algorithms. These bots decide when to buy or sell based on thorough market analysis and predefined rules, ensuring consistent and strategic trading. For those interested in setting up their own bots and exploring the potential of automated trading, resources like https://www.stopwarnft.io provide valuable insights and guidance. Embracing these technologies could very well be your ticket to future financial success.
