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.

Love and Lavender Lattes –
I used this in a training for teachers to show the importance of number talks in the math classroom…they loved it! It was fun to talk about ways a 4th or 5th grade teacher may alter the “rules” to make it apply/work for older students.
