Number Talks

Last week, we had another special visitor! Mr. Courtemanche, our district math coach, visited both classrooms to do a Number Talk. Number Talks are student-lead conversations around a string of equations. They are "a short, ongoing, daily routine that provides students with meaningful ongoing practice with computation." Number Talks help "develop computational frequency because the expectation is that they will use number relationships and the structures of numbers to add, subtract, multiply, and divide." Number Talks are also fun and spark great conversation! Ask your child about it!
