🧠 What Are Number Talks?

Number Talks are short, focused sessions that build number sense and mental math skills. Students solve problems mentally, discuss their thinking, and explore different strategies. These “pencil-free” routines encourage:

• Flexible thinking with numbers
• Confident mental computation
• Clear verbal reasoning and math communication

Perfect for morning routines, math warm-ups, or intervention groups, this PowerPoint helps create a thinking classroom where students become active, reflective mathematicians.
