What is a Classroom Number Talk?
Number talks are a daily classroom activity that can be done in 5-15 minutes. They are designed to help build number sense and help develop efficient, flexible, and accurate computation strategies that build on the key foundations of mathematics (Parrish, 2014)
Number talks are opportunities for students to come together to share their mathematical thinking and engage in conversations and discussions around purposefully designed problems.
