Description
A Pattern Talk is a daily math talk classroom routine. Measure capacity using division to accurately label missing values and read the liquid volume. 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 16 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 16 pages of animated slides, intended to cover 15 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
- Read and record the liquid volume
- Analyze the cards and discuss patterns you notice
The animated slides will guide teachers and students through these steps. On the first click, a fill-in-the-blank card is revealed depicting a container with liquid inside, and on the second click, the total liquid volume (the answer) is given.
Why Use Pattern Talks?
On each day of this measure liquid volume Pattern Talk, students are tasked with reading a graduated cylinder to find the volume of the liquid. Each graduated cylinder has many unlabeled tick marks! Students will need to use division skills to accurately define the value of the tick marks before they can read the total. This talk comes with four different containers, denoted by differently colored liquid. Each time the same container is shown, there is more liquid, following a pattern. This presents an additional challenge: predict the next card by using the tick marks to find the pattern, and then add more to the liquid volume each time.
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!
