A Number Talk is a brief routine (about 10 minutes) focused around developing flexibility and fluency with numbers. Through regular opportunities to work with dot images and expressions, students develop an understanding of number relationships and structure. This supports the development of early fluency skills.

This PowerPoint contains presentation slides for daily Number Talks, as well as directions and videos for implementation. Teachers may facilitate the Number Talks on these slides, or use them to inspire their own Number Talks based on student need.

In this lesson, students build fluency with recognizing and creating representations of numbers within 100. Students deepen their place value understanding as they work with ten frame cards. There are several variations built into the lesson for number ranges and response options.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students will develop strategies to fluently add and subtract within 5. Further, students will apply their understanding of how smaller sets make bigger sets to solve a take apart problem.Remix this lesson to include extension ideas and accompanying math centers

This lesson in part of Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students will use manipulatives to solve subtraction problems within 10 that involve removing objects from a group. Have ideas for extending this lesson?  Remix it!

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students explore making and breaking cube trains.  Based on the part of the cube train that is shown, the group races to guess the hidden part to develop the concepts of adding and subtracting within 20.

In this lesson, students begin to move beyond counting as a strategy for solving addition and subtraction problems. They will use what they know about numbers and relationships between numbers to add and subtract with other strategies. Students will start to see connections between strategies to help them transition their thinking.

In this lesson "make-a-ten" strategy is introduced through a game. There are two different games n this lesson. Both games address the same standards and have the same rules. Play Ball takes longer to completely cover the gameboard.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students work with numbers less than 10 and explore the idea of one more and one less than a number.  This file includes the lesson plan, printable activities, student recording sheets, and extension ideas/math stations. 

This lesson uses predictable text and a repetitive format to help students learn high-frequency words. Students develop fluency as they participate in a choral reading of the predictable text.
