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.
