Number Talks are short daily routines where students practice solving math problems mentally. They focus on developing computational fluency over memorization. During Number Talks, students sit together and are given problems to solve mentally. They show when they're ready and the teacher records strategies. Problems start simply and are related in "number strings" to build skills. Number Talks are used in grades K-8 and help develop skills outlined in the Common Core, like addition and subtraction fluency. They connect classroom work, build accountability, and resources are provided for starting Number Talks.

If you've ever wanted to write a book, this is a brief tutorial that highlights some key points to help you simplify the process.
Today's books can be in many formats: Instagram, print, YouTube, Facebook Notes, SlideShare, Second Life. There are formats that haven't been invented yet that will eventually become book publishing platforms.
Most of my writing is non-fiction, so the slant on this presentation will seem geared to that, however, I've added some fiction-specific notes that are based on what other writers have shared about their process.
Writing comes down to this: there is no right or wrong way to work through the process. That said, there IS a wrong way if you don't take the care and attention to make it as good as possible before it leaves your computer. You owe your reader that much.

Understand who you are going to educate. Anticipate various learning styles (visual, auditory, tactile or a combination) Tailor your lesson plan to incorporate all learning styles
through independent and group exercises. If you are
familiar with the students' group dynamics you may
choose to plan ahead of time to increase engagement and interaction. Keep in mind that you may alter any activity
to be done independently, in pairs, or in small groups.
Depending on the amount of time and size of the class you can be selective or mix it up and use all of these
techniques
Your Math Students: Engaging and Understanding Every DayDreamBox Learning
The most important and challenging aspect of daily planning is to regularly—and yes, that means every day—create, adapt, locate, and consider mathematical tasks that are appropriate to the developmental learning needs of each student. A concern Francis (Skip) Fennell often shares with teachers is that many of us can find or create a lot of “fun” tasks that are, for the most part, worthless in regards to learning mathematics. Mathematical
tasks should provide a level of demand on the part of the student that ensures a focus on understanding and involves them in actually doing mathematics.
The workshop will provide middle level mathematics teachers with ideas for engaging students in the understanding of math concepts and the creative aspects of mathematics topics in the 6-8 curriculum. The workshop will be hands-on and based upon a constructivist approach to learning and teaching. Handouts will be provided.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

6. What is Number Talks?
A Number Talk is a short, ongoing daily routine that
provides students with meaningful ongoing practice
with computation:
• keep Number Talks short, as they are not intended
to replace current curriculum or take up the majority
of the time spent on mathematics.
• spend only 5 to 15 minutes on Number Talks
• Talks are most effective when done everyday.
7. Some questions to ask yourself…
• What the goal of Number Talks?
• What's the difference between computational
fluency and memorization?
• Why not use flash cards? or when should they be
used?
• Purposeful practice...what is it?
9. What does Number Talks look like?
• Students are near each other so they can
communicate with each other (central meeting
place)
• Students are mentally solving problems
• Students are given thinking time
• Thumbs up show when they are ready
• Teacher is recording students' thinking
10. Purposeful Problems
• Start with small numbers so the students can learn
to focus on the strategies instead of getting lost in
the numbers
• Use a number string (a string of problems that are
related to and scaffold each other)
14. Number Talks in 1st Grade
• Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for
addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as
counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 =
14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 =
13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between
addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one
knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or
known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known
equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
16. What could it look like in 3rd through
8th grade?
• Multiplication and division
• Decimals (same part-whole additive strategies but
extended to rational numbers…good stuff!)
• Fractions (context for learning-Fosnot)
17.
18. STUDENT ACCOUNTABILITY WITH NUMBER
TALKS
• Students use finger signals to indicate most efficient
strategy.
• Keep records of problems posed and student
strategies.
• Hold small-group number talks.
• Create and post class strategy charts.
• Give students an exit problem using the discussed
strategies.
20. Starting Number Talks in your
Classroom
• Start with specific problems in mind
• Be prepared to offer a strategy from a previous
student
• It is ok to put a student's strategy on the backburner
• Limit your number talks to about 15 minutes
• Ask a question, don't tell!

Preview and welcome
-going to be really hard to talk about numbers when I can’t hear what your saying
Be sure to introduce the next slide and tell them they are going to do it mentally…
Just kidding…but the anxiety that you just felt is what your students will probably experience the first time you ask them to mentally think about numbers and then share their solution strategy
Solve this mentally
This is what is what Number Talks is not…
Push out Kid Snippet Video- www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdxEAt91D7k
Discussing that we are all guilty but the good thing is that you are here and your wanting to be a more effective teacher
Computational Fluency
What happens to the students that only has memory to think mathematically. Use 8x7 as an example…if the student doesn’t know 8x7 they would revert back to skip counting but the students that has learned through strategy could say I don’t know 8x7 but I know that 8x8 is 64 and 64-8 is 56.
Purposeful practice...what is it?
students can only become faster and more efficient at what they already know
why not use flash cards? or when should they be used?
Purposeful practice...what is it?
What SMPs are connected to Number Talks?
The only one I can say is SMP#4
Communicate:
Having to talk out loud about a problem helps students clarify their own thinking
Allow students to listen to other's strategies and value other's thinking
Gives the teacher the opportunity to hear student's thinking
Mental Math:
When you are solving a problem mentally you must rely on what you know and understand about the numbers instead of memorized procedures
You must be efficient when computing mentally because you can hold a lot of quantities in your head
Thumps Up:
This is just a signal to let you know that you have given your students enough time to think about the problem
If will give you a picture of who is able to compute mentally and who is struggling
It isn't as distracting as a waving hand
Teacher as Recorder:
Allows you to record students' thinking in the correct notation
Provides a visual to look at and refer back to
Allows you to keep a record of the problems posed and which students offered specific strategies
What do you notice?
Lots of 9-ness which purposely lend itself to the make a ten strategy
And this really stinks because this is on tape delay…so if you’re right give yourself a Kindergarten “kiss your brain”
We want to move our students from Perceptual Subitizers to Conceptual Subitizers
Review what subitizing is for upper grades and discuss the difference between perceptual and conceptual
Perceptual see 5 dots and that all they know
Conceptual sees 5 dots and they can articulate and explain how they see the 5 dots (a group of 2 and a group of 3)
Thank you Ms. Burge
Review the standard quickly and then push out video to show how Number Talks connects to standards.

Undoing parent misconceptions….send this home. We pushed it out at the beginning and we’ll post it to the wiki. We need to continue to educate parents because we are educating them as well.
I hate it when we spend all day exposing students to understanding numbers and then we send them home and they return back the next day to find out their parents showed them and “easier way”.
Thanks Shelly Burch for Sharing…..discuss how Shelly uses this with her 3rd grade classroom.
