Series Description
Debbie Olson, CEO of the Mathematics Education Collaborative (MEC), a non-profit organization co-founded by Ruth Parker, one of the creators of Number Talks, designed this self-guided professional learning series to support teachers through every step of developing and implementing the powerful mathematics routine: Number Talks. This routine provides students with increased opportunities to develop meaningful number sense, the development of positive and empowered mathematical dispositions, and engages them in authentic student-to-student discourse.
Note: to access these resources you will need to be logged in to your Google profile using your DOE credentials.
By the end of this module teachers will have:
tried and reflected on new instructional practices,
explored their own mathematical understandings, and
started using Number Talks in their classroom.
As a result, their students will have:
increased opportunities to develop meaningful number sense,
develop positive and empowered mathematical dispositions, and
engage in authentic student-to-student discourse.
