Integrating number talks into middle school math helps build our students’ sometimes fragile number sense as they develop mental math strategies for computation. We will engage in middle-level number talks and discuss how to craft them to maximize student sense making. Classroom climate and the teacher’s role in number talks will also be addressed.
