2NUMBER TALKS
- Fraction of the DayEveryday
3THE EXPECTATION
- Every secondary math class operated by TAS will
start with a NUMBER TALK. - Every elementary school operated by TAS will have
a 30 minute NUMBER TALK block.
4NUMBER TALKS
- AIM 2 minutes
- Teachers will know what a number talk is and how
to use it in an everyday classroom setting by
practicing, creating, and reviewing number talk
activities. - DO NOW 2 minutes 2minutes
- Teachers will write a mini essay that outlines
the true purpose of math. - ACTIVITY 45 minutes
- Learn about what NTs are.
- Participate in 5-10 NTs (Be prepared to be video
taped) - Invent Norms for your classroom
- Create 5 Number Talks
- Practice 1 of your talks with your table. (Be
prepared to be video taped) - HW

7NUMBER TALK
- What are Number Talks?
- A Number Talk is a short, ongoing daily routine
that provides students with meaningful ongoing
practice with computation. A Number Talk is a
powerful tool for helping students develop
computational fluency because the expectation is
that they will use number relationships and the
structures of numbers

9THE PROCESS
- TEACHER PRESENTS PROBLEM
- STUDENTS FIGURE OUT ANSWER (Similar to you do)
- STUDENTS SHARE THEIR ANSWERS
- STUDENTS SHARE THEIR THINKING
- THE CLASS AGREES ON THE REAL ANSWER
- REPEAT WITH OTHER PROBLEMS
10NORMS
- STUDENTS ARE SILENT DURING WORK TIME SLANT means
youre done - STUDENTS MUST BE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT
THEMSELVES - STUDENTS ARE RESPECTFUL WHEN HEARING OTHER IDEAS
hands bow means you agree - STUDENTS ARE RESPECTFUL WHEN COMMENTING ON OTHER
IDEAS - I respectfully disagree with Joshiba. I believe 2
is in the middle because I subtracted and did not
use addition.
11THE PROCESSLanguage Assistance
PROCESS STEPS TEACHER LANGUAGE
TEACHER PRESENTS PROBLEM Lets see who will think intelligently about this problem. Im ready to hear all of your marvelous takes on what the answer to this will be.
STUDENTS FIGURE OUT ANSWER (Similar to you do) I love the hard work I see in the room.You all are really focused in this room and I love it.
STUDENTS SHARE THEIR ANSWERS Let me get all these down.I want to get as many of your thoughts down as possible. This is really helping me see how you think.
STUDENTS SHARE THEIR THINKING Who would like to share their thinking?Who did it another way?How many solved it that way?How did you figure that out?Sam. Do you have any questions for Tom?
THE CLASS AGREES ON THE REAL ANSWER Who can explain to John why the 6 should be divided?

- The number of the day is
- 105
- Use any of the four basic operations and at least
one radical to arrive at our number. Find at
least 2 solutions.

- Read the problem
- Ricks uncle Chase told him to put away 15 of
his earnings every week. This week he put away
45. How much did he earn?

- Look at the number line
- 3/4 is in the middle of ½ and what other number?
3/4
1/2
?
20NUMBER TALK 5
- Look at the number line
- What number is half of a half of this number line?
24
60
21POPULAR NUMBER TALKS
- Number of the Day
- Number Lines
- Number Strings
- Concepts of Equality
- Number Trains
- Percentage Understandings
22NUMBER OF THE DAY
- Select a number
- Students find multiple ways to arrive to that
number using calculations - Extension They use methods you are currently
studying or whatever parameters you set (only
exponents and addition). - 27
- 9x3
- 52 2
- 4211
23NUMBER LINES
- Draw a number line and plot numbers on it
- Students find the middle of two numbers or are
given the middle and asked to find the edge. - Extension Do not use whole numbers. Use
fractions, integers, and decimals.
2/5
3/4
What number is in the middle of the numbers shown?
24NUMBER STRINGS
- Start with a simple computation that helps
illustrate a rule or truth. - As students answer, make sure they describe how
the simpler problem helps solve the new and how
they are breaking a part numbers and putting them
back together. - 2x5
- 4x5
- 8x5
- 16x5
- 32x5
- 48x5
- 48x0.5
- 48x0.05
- 48x0.25
25CONCEPTS OF EQUALITY
- Present student with an equation with a missing
number. - Students separate, combine, alter numbers to
solve the problem. - 76 ___ 5
- Example Broke 6 into (15). Added the 1 back to
7. now I have 85. So the missing number is 8.12
9 10 8 c
26NUMBER TRAINS
- Verbal examples and nothing written
- Students use auditory modality to focus in on
questioning to determine answer. - No order of operations used because the train
goes in the order spoken. - Your number is 200. Now divide by 2. Take 25 of
that. Subtract 5. Find 1/5.What is your new
number?
27PERCENTAGE UNDERSTANDINGS
- Can be a number string or word problem
- Students break apart and combine numbers to
simplify their mental process. - 10 of 78020 of 780
- 23 of 780
- 25 of 782
- Or
- After a 20 markup, Mr. Jones paid 80 for a new
pair of Sperrys. What was the original price?
Best when used with individual work and cold
call. Students should use norms and habits of
discussion to connect to one another.
Best when used with think/pair/share or elbow
partners.
28CREATE
- Create 5 number talks
- Parameters
- Each Number Talk must be on the template
- Each must possess the opportunity to have
students break apart and place numbers back
together. - Each Number Talk must increase in rigor as it
moves on.
29PRACTICE
30HOMEWORK
- Type up your 5 Number Talks using the template
and deliver to your leader.
