Number Talks

I love Number Talks!  We do a number talk everyday before our math lesson and it is an amazing way to build number sense.  It helps build those critical subitizing skills because students have to think quick.  It's a great routine that I learned at a district training.  The whole activity takes about 10 minutes and my students love it!

Students look at the ten frame to see how many counters they see.  Then we do a partner talk to discuss the different strategies they used, you know I love those partner talks!  I have students come up and tell the class their strategy and I draw the pattern and write the number sentence.
