Product Description
Making Number Talks Matter is about the myriad decisions facing teachers as they make this fifteen-minute daily routine a vibrant and vital part of their mathematics instruction. Throughout the book, Cathy Humphreys and Ruth Parker offer practical ideas for using Number Talks to help students learn to reason numerically and build a solid foundation for the study of mathematics. This book will be an invaluable resource whether you are already using Number Talks or not; whether you are an elementary, middle school, high school, or college teacher; or even if you are a parent wanting to support your child with mathematics.
Using insight gained from many years of doing Number Talks with students of all ages, Cathy and Ruth address questions to ask during Number Talks, teacher moves that turn the thinking over to students, the mathematics behind the various strategies, and ways to overcome bumps in the road. If you’ve been looking for ways to transform your mathematics classroom—to bring sense-making and divergent thinking to the foreground, to bring the Standards for Mathematical Practice to life, and to bring joy back into your instruction—this book is for you.

This book is one of the best that I have seen that gives practical tips about implementing number talks in the middle grades. Most of the other books that I saw seemed geared toward the primary grades. I am going to try to implement number talks this fall in my classroom. This book will assist me immensely.
Where are the number talks?

I was expecting this to have number strings in it...but it appears they expect you to create them all on you own. I thought this was going to be more like SherrybParishs's book but for older kids. I bought the kindle version. Does the hard copy have strings in it? There's only one or two examples for each strategy.
Great resource!

I have moaned for years over my students' lack of number sense. "Making Number Talks Matters" gives a practical way to improve that. I can't wait to begin number talks with my students!

I love this book. It provides clear examples that will be easily implemented. A great perspective on how to provide more children "number sense". Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to try them that would be the proof in the pudding.
A must-read for all math teachers to hone our craft

I teach high school math in a resource room setting. Most of my students are learning disabled in math enough so that they are not successful in co-taught math (with regular education and special education teachers). - - - This book shows me the experiences my students have not had, even with me. I'm so excited to start Number Talks for 15 minutes of the 90 minute classes. Most of my students have not memorized facts or they're all jumbled. On the ACT/SAT or other college entrance tests, there isn't an option (accommodation) for a calculator. Therefore, it will be essential to puzzle out solutions that accurately calculate problems! To discuss various ways we solve algebra equations.
