These posters briefly describe the 5 math talk moves from Classroom Discussions: Using Math Talk to Help Students Learn by Chapin, O'Connor, and Anderson. These can be hung in the room after being introduced to students so that teachers remember to incorporate the talk moves into their daily math lessons.

These cards are perfect for encouraging students to engage in math discourse. Laminate and place the cards in a basket. At the beginning of math class, have students select a card and use their question or prompt at some time throughout the lesson, ensuring that everyone has a chance to speak during math class.

This file includes 96 fraction, decimal, and percentage cards from 0-1, which can be used for various mathematical tasks including ordering and comparing numbers. I have used them to create a human number line and number line on the wall from 0-1. Students use their number sense to place the cards in the appropriate places on the number line. The set includes benchmarks, equivalencies, near equivalencies, and even tricky decimals that lead to high cognitive demand.

This is a super fun activity where students practice calculating the area and perimeter of rectangles and complex figures. Students use small, square cheese crackers to check their answers. There are several pre-made pages increasing in difficulty, a blank graph sheet, and a challenge problem Kids will love the activity and enjoy eating a snack after completion of this engaging task!

This product includes a title picture "What does a good mathematician do?" and 12 additional pictures with ideas for students to do their very best during math instruction. These can be made into posters and hung up around the room. Can be printed 2/page to save paper and take up less room.

These number cards are great for working toward number recognition. Each card includes a ten frame to match, so students can identify the number by finding the total number of objects. The following subitizing dot cards are wonderful for building the subitizing skill in young children. The ability to see small sets of objects easily is important to working with larger numbers.

These prompts are great for use at the end of a math lesson to better understand students' attitudes and feelings about math. They are perfect for the last few minutes of math class and provide a great opportunity for descriptive feedback and creating a dialog between student and teacher. Could also be a part of a math wall.

Facilitating math talk is no easy task. Displaying the math talk moves posters in your classroom serves as a helpful reminder of the moves you can make to elicit discourse. Teaching your students to use the sentence starters can increase the math talk by shifting some of the authority from you to your students. Display these in your classroom to help your students evaluate the reasoning of others and seek clarification and justification when needed. The bookmarks are helpful reminders for studen

These part-part-whole models have options for parts on top and on the bottom to teach flexible thinking when it comes to this model. Also included are models with ten frames for organized addition up to 20.

12 decimal models on one page for pictorial work with decimals. Perfect for any operation with decimals.

This number sense activity poster is perfect for daily practice in grades 5 & 6. It includes a place value chart, divisibility rules practice, 100 less, 1,000 more, doubling, rounding, and formulating equations.

These number cards are great for number recognition activities. There is a place value model to go with each number for a conceptual look at each number.

The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. This resource is meant to help you and your students become more mindful and familiar with the mathematical practices with the ultimate goal of becoming mathematical thinkers.Directions: Print and hang the practice posters in the classroom. Create 8 of the giant checkmarks. It would be best to print on cardstock and laminate them for durabilit

Sentence Starter Cards

This engaging activity focuses on the importance of place value when thinking about or building numbers. Simply pass out all of the ones and tens cards to your students, then verbally give a number. If students have a card that will contribute to making the given number, they come forward to the front of the room. Create an addition sentence using the expanded form of the number, then have the students put the cards together to reveal the number. Did they make the correct number? If so, continue
