Throughout the book, Cathy Humphreys and Ruth Parker offer practical ideas for using Number Talks to help students in grades 4-10 learn to reason numerically and build a solid foundation for the study of mathematics. They recommend making this fifteen-minute daily routine a vital part of mathematics instruction. The authors address questions to ask during Number Talks, teacher moves that turn the thinking over to students, the mathematics behind the various strategies, and ways to overcome bumps in the road. | |
