There is no doubt that students need many opportunities to practice addition and subtraction computation skills they have learnt .I believe that designing learning opportunities that are richer, encourage thinking and reasoning, provide opportunities for math dialogue, develop growth mindsets, and …are fun aid students in their knowledge of what they have learnt.!

These Number Talks will get your students engaged in meaningful mathematical conversations that will increase their ability to reason mathematically as well as develop their computational fluency skills and their ability to think flexibly about numbers.

When students engage in this short daily activity, they communicate with their peers in a safe environment where it's okay to not be right all the time. It's okay to learn from each other. They discuss various strategies and the effectiveness of those strategies. They take risks.

*******This product is the same as the Halloween Challenges as I was requested to make one as some schools/ students do not celebrate Halloween.*******
