Number Talks by Sherry Parrish
Number Talks- A five- to fifteen-minute classroom conversation around purposefully crafted computation problems that are solved mentally.
- The best part of a teacher's day.
This dynamic multimedia resource was 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 talk is;
- how to follow students' thinking and pose the right questions to build understanding;
- how to prepare for and design purposeful number talks; and
- how to develop grade-level-specific strategies for the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
While the book may be used as an independent resource, it is also structured to provide a framework for collaborative learning groups or to provide professional development opportunities through grade-level teams, individual schools, or districts. Chapter 9 serves as a facilitator's resource. Streaming Video Clips
The online video clips provide a visual platform for teachers to reflect on their current practices and target essential understandings from their readings. The video clips feature number talks filmed in actual classrooms, grades K, 2, 3, and 5, plus seven bonus tracks highlighting interviews with the author and teachers. Clips range from five to ten minutes in length with a total viewing time of approximately two hours. The resource includes reference tables to help you quickly and easily locate the video clips by chapter and grade level. All video clips can be viewed online using the key code found on page xxii.

This book is an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with the mathematical development of youngsters. Jo Boaler is a Stanford University professor and the author of What Does Math Have to Do With It? Using number talks on a regular basis is a great method to get started with inquiry-based mathematics. Sherry Parrish gives a multitude of example number talks in this resource that can be used in order to cover fundamental mathematical concepts.
Ann Dominick, past Alabama Teacher of the Year and Presidential Awardee for Elementary Math Review: For years, I battled to teach my kids who couldn't master algorithms. Number Talks has been nothing short of life-changing! I'm extremely proud of my daughters' growing self-assurance. Parents have even requested that I teach them Number Talks tactics.
Bridget Anderson, first-grade teacher at Curtis Elementary School in Rialto, California, says, No other resource has had the same influence on my pupils' capacity to work flexibly with numbers as Number Talks. It's been genuinely life-changing! Donna Boucher is an educational consultant, coauthor of Guided Math Workshop, and blogger at Math Coach's Corner.
