Flexibility in number thinking is a critical skills in beginning mathematicians. Students must understand that 7 can be made from 4 and 3, 2 and 5, 6 and 1, or 7 and 0. The prompts in this resource, provide students a “Target Number” and ask students to use some of the provided numbers to hit the target. Students then have to decide how many numbers to use, which operation to use (addition or subtraction), and then, decide if number order matters.
This Resource Can Also Be Purchased in A Discounted Bundle HERE.
There are 32 prompt cards included in this resource that offer 3 weeks of powerful number conversations, as well as, a variety of recording sheet options for math centers and assessment. Number conversations can be built into your daily schedule as short, daily exercises aimed at building number sense. Number sense is the ability to understand numbers and quantities, to use numbers flexibly, and to perform calculations mentally.

This was a great partner activity to warm up my students’ brains. I used each add target for addition within 10 on a different day as warm up and the kids really enjoyed it. Now that they know how it works, I’ll have it as an early finisher partner activity with the other problems.

Love using these with my advanced Kinder small group! They love discussing and showing their different ways and comparing/contrasting them with others’ ideas.

I am using this at my teacher guided math center until the students can do this independently. It is so great. It really shows me how they think about addition and subtraction and composing and decomposing numbers. Thank you!

My school just recently implemented number talks. This resource saved me! It helped me better understand how to implement number talks. I like that it challenges all the students. I only wish there were a year long resource. Thank you for creating an excellent resource.
