Math
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.
