Teachers often ask when and where does Number Talk fit in my program? We would reply that Number Talk can be used :

  • before the mental routine,
  • as a 5-minute warm up and discussion starter prior to problem solving,
  • at the beginning of a strategy lesson,
  • as a transition from one part or stage of a lesson to the next,
  • as a structured alternative to a reflection to close a lesson, in which case they can be used as exit slips,
  • to collect formative data about how disposed toward and effective students are at noticing and using patterns, connections and structures.

The Number Talks in this series support the teaching of:

Foundation: ACMNA001, ACMNA002.

Year 1: ACMNA012, ACMNA013, ACMNA014.

Year 2: ACMNA026, ACMNA027, ACMNA028.
