Number talk

Write down all the different ways you can think of to solve the problem. Try to come up with as many ways as you can think up.

Remember:

  • It is ok to think differently.

  • Mistakes grow our brains.

  • There are no right or wrong answers.

If you can find someone to talk with, ask them how they see the number talk.

  • How are their ways of seeing the number talk the same as you?

  • How are their ways of seeing the number talk different than you?

Introducing the Sit Spot

  • Find a Sit Spot: Find a spot where you can sit and observe for 5 minutes each day. Ideally this spot will be outside. If going outside is not an option, you could look outside through a window or choose a spot in your home.

  • Sit and observe:

    • Go to your sit spot. Take a few deep breaths.

    • Observe. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell? What do you feel?

    • Record your observations in your field journal. You can draw or write.

    • What questions do you have about what you have observed? Share your questions with a family member or pet, or write them down.
