Description
An important part of teaching primary students is to build number fluency and flexibility. Students should be able to encounter numbers in a variety of formats and engage with them in a variety of ways. During our Representing Numbers conversations, I encourage students to branch outside of the typical ten frame, plus one, etc. These are great strategies when we first start, but after the first few days students can build on these basic representations to develop different relationships and understanding.

There are 72 prompt cards included in this resource that offer 4 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.

I purchased these number talks after noticing my new school’s math curriculum doesn’t provide good opportunities for students to talk about math. I love that these are easy for me to use and implement and spark good conversation among students. Thanks for creating an amazing product!
