Description
Looking for a fun and engaging way to get students warmed up before math lessons? These Daily October Number Talk Google Slides resource is perfect for students to get their brains turned on!
This resource has four weeks worth of number talks for the month of October. The themes are firefighters, spiders, bats, and monsters. It will take your class from disengaged students to mathematicians ready to share their thinking and reasoning! When I started number talks in my classroom, the growth I saw in my students was incredible!
This resource comes with instructions, google slides, and a student notebook recording sheets for students to show their work.
What are number talks?
- quick prompts that can be completed in 5 - 10 minutes
- allow students to verbally share mathematical thinking
- work on number sense and mental math
- low floor, high ceiling tasks, so every student can feel successful
- easy, quick way for you to assess students skills.
- no/low prep for you!
The Prompts
- Make it Monday: has students work on creating equations that equal the number displayed on the prompt.
- Draw it Tuesday: students put their geometry skills into practice and draw, label, and categorize shapes.
- Which One Doesn't Belong Wednesday: students figure out what number/object does not belong in the set and use their communication skills to support their reasoning.
- Solve it Thursday: students practice solving word problems, open ended questions, and creating their own math questions. These questions often have more than one answer so students get practice showing their work and expanding the possibilities of more than one answer in math.
- Graph It Friday: students survey their classmates and record the data on a provided graph.
Students can work on whiteboards, mentally, or using the student recording sheets that are also included in this resource.
Check out the thumbnails for a glimpse into the daily prompts.
This resource is google slides and is not editable. When you download the pdf, click on the google slides link to open your slides. Print out the student recording sheets if using and get to talking!
