Number Talks: Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages
Number Talks
1. A five- to fifteen-minute classroom conversation around purposefully crafted problems that are solved mentally.
2. The best part of a teacher's day.
Number Talks: Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages is a dynamic multimedia resource created in response to the requests of teachers - those who want to implement number talks but are unsure of how to begin and those with experience who want more guidance in crafting purposeful problems.
It supports teachers in understanding:
- what a classroom number talk is
- how to follow students' thinking and pose the right questions to build understanding
- how to prepare for and design purposeful number talks
- how to develop fractional reasoning and strategies for working with fractions, decimals, and percentages.
