Students must be able to talk about what they know in math. It is super important that they can explain themselves and ask each other questions about their thinking.

One way you can promote math talks in your classroom is you can post stems and questions in your room. Another way could be with these bookmarks.

Copy these on colored cardstock front/back and laminate. Each student can keep these in their math journal and they can use these during math talks daily.

Enjoy!
