Read about how Math Talks can strengthen accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility in this article by Sherry Parrish from Teaching Children Mathematics.

Why Use Math Talks? Students practice making their thinking visible, constructing viable arguments, and making sense of the collective mathematical thinking of the class. Math Talks help to develop a culture of classroom discourse by valuing students’ mathematical thinking, fostering meaningful mathematical discussions, and developing students’ mathematical flexibility. Math Talks help us see our students as mathematical thinkers and reasoners by eliciting and then building on the mathematical thinking (however informal the language may be) that our students bring to our classrooms. The Math Talks structure provides an accessible format for critical elements of a learner-centered classroom, including an explicit focus on building procedural knowledge from conceptual understanding and facilitating meaningful mathematical discourse.

Developed by Math Learning Center, Math at Home is designed to engage students in deep mathematical thinking as they work in blended and virtual learning environments. Math at Home resources are updated monthly during the school year, including activities and games aligned to key mathematical concepts.
