Watch for “Number Talks in the Primary Classroom” January 2020 @letkidslearn Sue Dolphin #kathyrichardson #mathperspectives #suedolphin #numbertalks #letkidslearn

Authentic -vs- Artificial Language: When children are required to use particular words or structures during Number Talks, their focus is on what to say, not on describing the math they used. kathyandsue @NumberTalksK2 #numbertalks #kathyrichardson #mathperspectives #suedolphin

Math Perspectives has scheduled two Institutes with Kathy Richardson this summer. Register today, space is still available. #math

I hope you can join Kathy at 4:00pm on Friday, April 3, 2020 at the NCTM Annual Meeting in Chicago. I’m going to be there, how about you?

Number Talks are intended to help children develop computational fluency in all situations. Children are not practicing Number Talks to get better at Number Talks or “mental math.” Number Talks are a powerful tool for learning foundational math. kathyandsue @NumberTalksK2

2nd graders were introduced to the concept of multiplication as joining equal groups today while working with a partner. How Many Cups? My ❤️was very happy! Voigt AIA

Here’s the book that helps K-2 teachers create a safe, engaging, learning environment where the needs of the range of learners are met as students are appropriately challenged.

Adina R Heidi Fessenden (she/her) 🌎 Jill Tully Steve Levesque Creating the learning environment where children are able to work independently and know what to do when they “don’t know what to do” is so important. Allows teachers to focus on the learning and not always on management.

Do you think this is a true statement? “Children develop an understanding of specific mathematical concepts along a continuum in predictable ways.” If so, how does it impact your teaching? If not, how do you decide how long to work on a concept and when to move on?

These activities from Kathy Richardson are a great resource for K-2 teachers to share with their families while they work with their children at home using materials found in the home. Scroll down on the site. #mathperspectives #elemmathchat mathperspectives.com/developing-num…
