Math Examples
Through the use of number talks, students are given opportunities to reflect and revise their thinking. This is often done through the sharing of strategies used and solutions to the problems.
When we present students with problems that have multiple entry points, we allow for students to make attempts, contemplate their answers, decide if there are other ways to solve (or more precise answers), and attack the problem again. One great example is through the use of Robert Kaplinsky’s Open Middle problems.
