What Is a Number Talk?
Number talks are meant to be short, daily maths activities that allow students to have meaningful and highly engaging conversations about maths. Simply show students the front of the card and ask the prompts on the back. These exchanges will lead to the development of more accurate, efficient and flexible strategies for students.
