5+1 Days of Math Talks

A week’s worth of daily Math Talks (plus a few bonuses)

Kids warm up their muscles before diving into gym class, so why not limber up our brains with a Math Talk before math class? Here is a week’s worth of daily Math Talks (plus a few bonuses) to get you started in English et en français. Display one of these problems for the class and use the Key Questions to spark rich conversations about problem-solving and provide unique opportunities to:

  • Focus on the process of problem-solving rather than the solution.
  • Enhance number fluency, confidence, and communication skills.
  • Rethink personalized learning with activities that are accessible to all students.
  • Collect diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment data.
  • Make math more social and collaborative.
