Description
A Pattern Talk is a daily math talk classroom routine. Students use fact families for one-digit addition and subtraction to find the missing value (missing addends and missing totals) in each number bond. 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 14 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 29 pages of animated slides, intended to cover 14 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
- Add or subtract to find the missing piece of the number bond
- Analyze the cards and discuss patterns you notice
Why Use Pattern Talks?
Number bonds are excellent models for supporting students' understanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction, particularly in modeling word problems and multi-step problems. This Pattern Talk helps familiarize students with useful number bond models. While working to uncover the missing part of each number bond (both addends and sums), students will build an understanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction. Matching equations underneath each card in both addition and subtraction help to support this understanding, and provide opportunity for class discussion. Included in the talk is a how to use page with suggestions for further visual and hands-on class manipulatives that can support students throughout this talk.
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!
