Classroom conversations and discussions around purposefully crafted computation problems are at the very core of number talks. These are opportunities for the class to come together to share their mathematical thinking. The problems in a number talk are designed to elicit specific strategies that focus on number relationships and number theory. Sherry Parrish, Number Talks, p5
Computational Number Talks
Computational Number Talks
These are the heart of number talks- to practice computational strategies to progress toward fluency. It is a quick time of mental math practice for your students to focus on developing skills and strategies around math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division).

These types of talks must be done a minimum of 3 days a week in order to give students time to practice strategies and use them fluently. Standard of Practice (SoP) Look For document

Math Flips- mini number talks on printable cards and Google Slides. More info on Berkeley Everett's website .
Daily Math Fluency kits (Hand2Mind)- many schools purchased these kits to support number talks. These are talks and strings focused only on computational fluency.
Problem Solving Talks
Problem Solving Talks
These are talks that you can use the other 2 days a week or at a different time of your day to engage students in problem solving. TIP: Once students know these routines, many can be used in math workstations.

The digital games will say "work place" & are fantastic! They are already set up with digital cards, manipulatives, game boards, and work space to write, so are ready to use. See the video (link below) for more guidance.
As with any new game, I recommend that you play it with the whole group (teacher vs students) first so everyone knows what to do.
