Math Talk

Today in math we discussed how to use "math talk". After we work in our groups to problem solve we need to communicate how we used our math strategies. 

We then practiced solving a problem together and using the math talk above to discuss the many ways we could get to the answer. 

Next the children were placed in groups to solve the next problem and use their math talk to share their findings. 

We are just getting started with our journals but the children will be expected to do the following each day:

- show work using a picture or number model 

-write an equation

-explain their strategy using words

- find another way to get the answer
