Description

First graders make sense of their math world and numbers by talking about it! These linear measurement activities and number talks give your kids ways to talk purposefully about the linear measurement standards for K-2.

Get your students comfortable with sharing strategies, writing notation to match their thinking, and agreeing and disagreeing in math in a friendly way!

What are math talks?

Math Talks are a number talks routine to get students comfortable with sharing problem solving strategies, writing notation to match their thinking, and agreeing and disagreeing in math in a friendly way!

Want to learn more about math talks? Watch a video of what number talk routines look like in my classroom. Or visit my blog to read why I do math talks in my first grade classroom.

Are these Printable or Digital Number Talks?

BOTH! The file download is available in a pdf or powerpoint. You can print out the pdf and laminate and put on a ring to use in small groups, intervention, or even to take advantage of those bathroom break minutes. You can also open the powerpoint file on your interactive whiteboard and use the digital powerpoint slides for a whole group math talk!

How is the PowerPoint file set up?

The digital powerpoint number talks has a navigation menu to help you find the exact math talk you are looking for. It also has navigation buttons on each number talk slide to help you get back to the main menu. In addition, there is a blank slide after each image (dot/rekenrek/ten frame) math talk. When we do the number talks, I only show the image for 3 seconds and then click to the blank slide to force kids to visualize the image they saw to encourage subitization.

INCLUDED IN THESE LINEAR MEASUREMENT NUMBER TALK SLIDES

  • Teacher planning page that shows the category, goals, guided questions and strategies to look for
  • At a Glance pages to help you quickly find the math talk you need
  • 20 number talks on linear measurement
  • Main menu button on each page for easy navigation

CATEGORIES OF MEASUREMENT NUMBER TALKS INCLUDE...

  • measurable VS non-measureable attributes (2)
  • finding appropriate tools to measure length (2)
  • ordering length of 3 objects (2)
  • ordering height of 3 objects (2)
  • non-standard measurement using one or two units to compare (4)
  • standard measurement and estimation with rulers (4)
  • Find the Mistake (measurement examples addressing the following problems with linear measurement: gaps, overlaps, straightness of units, unit size)

This product is available as a DIGITAL interactive powerpoint or PRINTABLE pdf file.

HOW TO USE NUMBER TALKS

This download includes a PDF and powerpoint file for both printable and digital options. Here are a few ways to use these math talks.

  1. Whole group number talks using powerpoint slides
  2. Small group number talks for math intervention by printing the PDF slides
  3. Print out 4 to a page and add to a ring to take with you for bathroom breaks and transitions

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.
Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.
