Discover how children can engage in daily math conversations that build their confidence and abilities! Every day children in early childhood and primary classrooms explore math concepts in their conversations and interactions. You can build on that natural curiosity by engaging children in meaningful, complex math learning opportunities using regular math talks. Math talks are regular, short conversations about purposeful, layered problems with children. These are intentionally crafted to invite children into specific math situations, helping them to improve their mathematical confidence and abilities. Math talks are meant to be open-ended opportunities that have multiple entry points and approaches for interpreting and solving the problem. In this book 124 full page photos with accompanying math questions and prompts are meant to help inspire rich, open-ended math conversations with children - four pages for each numerical date of the monthly calendar (1 through 31) to ensure readers have access to multiple prompts for regular use.
