Math Talks in the morning.....

Every morning our class does a MATH TALK as a start to our math block.  It wakes us our minds, keeps our math brains flexible, and helps us build fluency with numbers and quantities.  I've posted here some pics of 3 problems we used on Friday's MATH TALK.  The work below the problems is what students told me were their methods of finding solutions.  Kids listen to and work to understand each others' procedures to build and enrich their math thinking.  So far, our MATH TALKS are going GREAT! Thanks, Kids for all of your energy during these activities!
