Description
A Pattern Talk is a daily math talk classroom routine. Students use visual area models of base ten blocks to multiply 2-digit by 2-digit numbers. Perfect for morning meeting, calendar time, or math warm-ups. Use as a pre-teaching or review activity! Includes digital Google Slides and cards printables.
Product Description:
You will receive a PDF with instructions for use, a link to copy the Pattern Talk to your Google Slides account, and 12 pages of printable cards. Cards are half-sheet sized, perfect for displaying in a number corner or under the whiteboard.
The Pattern Talk is comprised of 21 pages of animated slides, intended to cover 10 days of instruction. Slides are intended to be projected on the board and discussed as a whole class. Each day, students are asked to follow the 3-step Pattern Talk process:
- Predict the next card in the sequence
- Write a 2-digit multiplication equation to represent the area model
- Analyze and discuss patterns across the entire set of cards
The animated slides will guide teachers and students through these steps. On the first click, a new card is revealed, and on the second click, the equation is revealed.
Why Use Pattern Talks?
This Pattern Talk helps students master the concept of multi-digit multiplication by presenting it in multiple ways: visual area models, numerical representations, and the opportunity for students to get hands-on and build multiplication models using their own base ten blocks! The representations students will learn through this Pattern Talk can be used to solve any 2-digit multiplication problem. Not only will students master useful multiplication strategies, but they will also develop number sense as they reason about the size of the products for related multiplication facts. This Pattern Talk is a must for students who are first tackling multi-digit multiplication problems!
More teachers are using Pattern Talks in their classrooms because they are...
- Quick and easy! My students often walk away with more learning after this 10-minute-a-day classroom discussion than from our formal math lesson.
- Are engaging! All students are invited to think, participate with manipulatives, share their thinking, agree/disagree with classmates, and ask each other questions!
- Increase in complexity. Pattern Talks scaffold students as they move from simpler more accessible problems to more challenging ones.
- Make learning accessible. Pattern talks repeat the 3-step process, providing a routine that makes it easier for all students, including ELLs, to engage. Students who were not ready to share their ideas yesterday might try out strategies others have shared, and find success today! Pattern Talks provide enough time for everyone to learn and share their success!
