This is a digital file. May I print it?

While intended to be a digital resource, it can also be printed. To do so, go to File > Print > Lay Out > Pages Per Sheet > 2 or 4 > Print.  2 to a page prints with awkward margins but are easier to read and write directly on. 4 to a page prints in perfect task-card form (the size of post cards).

How Do I Use These for a Whole-Class Number Talk?

Using Google Slides you are able to display these prompts. If you download the Page Marker Google Chrome extension, you can write directly on the slides (no log-in required) in different colors. Using an Interactive Whiteboard, you can use the markers or your finger to write on top of these images/slides. If using a touch-screen Chromebook or iPad, you can use a stylus to record students’ thinking. Should you want to rock a low-technology option, display the prompt on a screen and record student thinking on anchor chart paper, a white board, or an easel.

Can I share just one or a few prompts at a time?

Only want to share one prompt? Perfect. Delete the other slides and share the file via Google Classroom for your students.
