Some students can be shy and afraid to share opinions or ideas. Other students have lots to say about all sorts of topics, just not always the topic at hand. Luckily, daily Math Talks, which are part of the new enVision + California Math curriculum, will give the students daily practice on how to speak effectively in a group, how to listen and respond to the speaker, and develop mathematical language
This interactive PD will explore the Math Talks that are provided in the new curriculum. We will share quick and easy ways to make the most out of this 5 to 10 minute whole class activity. In this session you will:
Review the different types of Math Talks included in the program.
Learn discourse procedures to give students a variety of partners and groups to talk with
Learn how the Standards for Mathematical Practice are embedded into each Math Talk.
