Number Talks are a 10-12 minute daily routine designed to develop number sense (not to be confused with math talk or classroom discussion). This brief routine promotes flexibility, efficiency, and numerical accuracy-- the very definition of mathematical fluency. </p><h2>Number Talks in a Virtual Setting</h2><p>Presenter: Angie Godfrey</p><p>Number talks can be facilitated via live streaming, such as Zoom or Google Meets. Angie will share her experience, tools, and insights on how to effectively do this.</p><h2>Number Talks in the Secondary Classroom</h2><p>Presenter: Veronica Blackham</p><p>This 2-hour block will be used to help secondary math teachers understand how number talks can support students’ in improving their numeracy skills. We will first spend some time learning how students form the concept of number and their operations. Then we will relate these ideas to Number Talks and discuss the benefits and practicality of using Number Talks in the secondary classroom.</p>
