Second Grade Student: I couldn’t take seven
from three so I borrowed ten. I made the one a
zero and the three became a thirteen, and thirteen minus seven is
six. That’s just how you do it when the bottom number is bigger than
the top.

NEED FOR NUMBER TALKS
Traditional View of Mathematics:
A discrete set of rules and procedures to be memorized and implemented with speed and accuracy……but without understanding the mathematical logic or numerical relationships that provide the foundation for these rules.
VIEW OF MATHEMATICS
Accuracy – ability to produce an accurate answerEfficiency – ability to choose an appropriate, expedient strategy for a specific computation problemFlexibility – ability to use number
relationships with ease in computation
MATHEMATICALLY PROFICIENT STUDENTS
Our math classrooms must provide opportunities for students:To grapple with number relationshipsApply numerical relationships to computation strategies
Discuss and analyze their reasoning
CREATING MATHEMATICALLY PROFICIENT STUDENTS
Number Talks
DIRECTIONS
1. When the problem is put up, solve in your head.
2. When you have solved, put your thumb up in front of your chest.
3. Try to solve in a different way. For each different way you solve, put up another finger.

Talks
Classroom Community & Environment
Role of the Teacher
Role of the Students
Classroom conversations and discussions around a few purposefully crafted computation problems
Short, ongoing daily routine (5 – 15 minutes)
Provides students with meaningful ongoing practice with computation
Intended to help students develop computational fluency
Problems are designed to elicit specific strategies that focus on number relationships
NUMBER TALKS
Teacher presents problem
Students figure it
out
Students share their
answers
Students share their
thinking
Class agrees on
the answer

KEY COMPONENTS
CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT
saferisk-freecomfortableacceptingrespectfulclear
expectations
Encourages students:To build on number relationships to solve problems instead of relying on memorized procedures
To develop efficient, flexible strategies with accuracy
To strengthen students’ understanding of place value
Ways to encourage mental math:Students solve problems without paper and pencil
Write problems in a horizontal format

TEACHER’S ROLE
Select a designated location Give students time to think by
providing appropriate wait timeEncourage student communication
and equitable participationTurn & TalkThink/Pair/Share
Accept and record all responses without judgment
Ask students to test new strategiesCapture and record strategies so it is accessible
to others (notation should be mathematically correct)
PROCEDURES
Provide access to tools and manipulativesNumber lines, hundred boards, cubes, counters, ten frames, place value blocks, fraction tiles, etc.
Model how to ask questions & make comments I agree with _____ because….. I do not understand ____________. Can you explain this again?
I disagree with ___ because…..How did you decide to ______?
ROLE OF THE TEACHER
Ask students to use finger signals Number of strategies Agree/Disagree Effi cient strategy
Keep records of problems posed and the corresponding student strategies Record student’s name next to the strategy Document student participation and strategies
Smartboard fi le Notebook/Document Camera Camera
Hold small-group number talks throughout the week Pull groups based on common needs Select students who need to be challenged Work with students who are shy or reluctant to share in the
whole group
DEVELOPING ACCOUNTABILITY
Require students to solve an exit problem using the discussed strategiesSpecific types of problems or strategies
Occasionally give a computation assessmentConsists of a few related problems Requires students to solve each problem in two ways
Create and post class strategy charts
DEVELOPING ACCOUNTABILITY
Start with smaller problems to elicit thinking from multiple perspectives
Offer strategies from a previous student
Put a student’s strategy on the back burner
Limit number talks to 5 - 15 minutesBe patient with yourself and your students

HELPFUL TIPS & HINTS
K-2 NUMBER TALKS
How does the teacher build student fluency with small numbers?
What questions does the teacher pose to build understanding?
What strategies are the students using to build meaning of the numbers?
How does the teacher support student communication during the number talk?
VIDEOKindergarten
1.Developing number sense2.Developing fluency with
small numbers3.Subitizing4.Making tens
GOALS OF K-2 NUMBER TALKS
Describe each goal. What does it mean?
“Number sense is an awareness and understanding about what
numbers are, their relationships, their magnitude, the relative
effect of operating on numbers, including the use of mental
mathematics and estimation”
~Fennell & Landis, 1994, p. 187
