>> So, this is the first year
that I've used Number Talks.

2
00:00:13,536 --> 00:00:17,936
We had a professional development opportunity
at the beginning of the year to try this.

3
00:00:18,136 --> 00:00:21,136
What I really liked about it was
when I went and I learned about it

4
00:00:21,576 --> 00:00:23,936
that I could take it right back to
my classroom and use it right away.

5
00:00:24,336 --> 00:00:26,266
It wasn't something that I
had to make anything for.

6
00:00:26,266 --> 00:00:28,716
It wasn't something that I
had to prepare a lot for.

7
00:00:28,716 --> 00:00:31,866
I have a book, and I do think about what I
want to talk about before the Number Talk,

8
00:00:31,926 --> 00:00:34,976
but I don't have to make any
materials or anything like that.

Your thumb up when you know the answer, and
if somebody says something that you agree

11
00:00:47,006 --> 00:00:50,346
with instead of yelling out that
you agree you show me me too.

12
00:00:50,546 --> 00:00:51,626
That means that you agree.

13
00:00:51,846 --> 00:00:54,096
And I love that they don't only do it then.

14
00:00:54,526 --> 00:00:56,626
They do it during science and social studies

15
00:00:56,626 --> 00:00:59,096
when someone else says what they
wanted to say, they don't pout.

16
00:00:59,096 --> 00:01:02,686
They say oh too, oh too, and it's a lot quieter.

17
00:01:02,956 --> 00:01:05,636
But they get excited when someone
has the same answer as them rather

18
00:01:05,636 --> 00:01:07,826
than getting disappointed that
someone took their answer.

19
00:01:08,306 --> 00:01:13,196
It also shows you I noticed that when I did
the easy problem they were all showing me

20
00:01:13,256 --> 00:01:13,696
right away.

21
00:01:13,696 --> 00:01:14,146
They knew what it was.

22
00:01:14,766 --> 00:01:17,646
But then the other one I knew wait time is hard.

23
00:01:17,916 --> 00:01:21,006
And I knew that this means that
I need some more wait time.

24
00:01:21,006 --> 00:01:23,616
Some of them are giving me this face
like yes, I'm never going to get it.

25
00:01:23,916 --> 00:01:29,476
So, I liked that you could see who
thinks they know and who doesn't.

26
00:01:30,146 --> 00:01:35,866
And it gives you an idea of when your wait
time should end as opposed to just guessing.

27
00:01:52,396 --> 00:01:54,576
Cheyenne, what do you think?

28
00:01:54,836 --> 00:01:55,056
>> Seven.

00:01:59,016 --> 00:02:04,896
How did you get seven, Cheyenne?

00:02:05,266 --> 00:02:07,226

32
00:02:07,996 --> 00:02:08,826

>> I love that it helps the
children to use mental math.

36
00:02:21,206 --> 00:02:26,636
They are able to think about the problem,
and they're able to find different ways

37
00:02:26,746 --> 00:02:29,286
to get the same answer and
to share with each other

38
00:02:29,286 --> 00:02:31,936
because that way they're
learning from each other.

39
00:02:32,416 --> 00:02:35,176
And sometimes they bring up things
that I wouldn't have thought.

40
00:02:35,206 --> 00:02:37,236
That I wouldn't think that they were ready for.

41
00:02:37,236 --> 00:02:42,056
That they have figured out on their own and
shows how they're actually internalizing it

42
00:02:42,056 --> 00:02:44,916
as opposed to just writing the
answers on a piece of paper,

43
00:02:44,916 --> 00:02:47,106
they know how they got the
answer which is important.

44
00:02:47,406 --> 00:02:50,396
So, who got seven but you
got it a different way?

45
00:02:50,396 --> 00:02:51,526
You did not count your fingers.

46
00:02:51,526 --> 00:02:52,486
You did something different.

>> You did double.

50
00:02:56,786 --> 00:02:57,786
So, tell me what you know.

51
00:02:57,786 --> 00:03:01,026
>> Seven plus seven is 14.

00:03:01,156 --> 00:03:04,596
>> Seven plus seven equals 14.

53
00:03:04,596 --> 00:03:06,786
So, everyone 14 minus seven is seven.

00:03:07,336 --> 00:03:07,766
Right. Good job.

57
00:03:14,046 --> 00:03:17,886
Show me how you counted up.

>> I used the ten frame, and I
had seven, and I counted up 14.

>> So, you thought about seven being
in here which would be seven there.

Let's take the ones out we don't need.

61
00:03:31,886 --> 00:03:41,626
So, you counted -- so you had seven in a ten
frame, and then what did you do from there?

62
00:03:41,626 --> 00:03:42,796
What did you say?

Which gave you?

66
00:03:45,356 --> 00:03:53,476
>> Ten. And then I added four more, and I
got 14, and then I counted back to seven.

>> To see how many you had added
because she knew that this was seven.

68
00:03:56,876 --> 00:03:57,996
She made 14.

69
00:03:58,266 --> 00:04:01,146
So, then she counted, one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven.

70
00:04:01,476 --> 00:04:03,986
So, you can use the ten frame to do it.

>> I memorized.

00:04:11,286 --> 00:04:12,896
>> You know that one.

76
00:04:12,896 --> 00:04:15,396
Probably because it's a what?

00:04:15,396 --> 00:04:15,806
[Inaudible] says me too.

78
00:04:15,806 --> 00:04:17,186
Yes. Because it's a double.

79
00:04:17,186 --> 00:04:19,836
That is probably one that you have memorized.

80
00:04:20,146 --> 00:04:22,196
Show me how we would count up?

81
00:04:22,196 --> 00:04:22,756
What would we do?

82
00:04:22,756 --> 00:04:22,976
>> Seven.

83

>> I think I wanted to do that.

00:04:36,306 --> 00:04:38,056
Somebody did one that was like this yesterday.

85
00:04:38,246 --> 00:04:43,466
I want to see if you're going
to do it the same way today.

86
00:05:12,226 --> 00:05:15,606
I like how some of you are still showing me
I'm thinking if you're still thinking about it.

00:05:15,606 --> 00:05:17,396
I can tell that you're thinking.

88
00:05:17,486 --> 00:05:20,286
I like that you're still
showing me I'm thinking.

89
00:05:20,446 --> 00:05:24,286
Even if you don't know it yet
you're still thinking about it.

90
00:05:24,286 --> 00:05:27,856
Gabriel, you did something different.

91
00:05:27,856 --> 00:05:31,256
Maybe your fingers or doubles.

00:05:35,046 --> 00:05:35,556
>> You counted backwards.

95
00:05:35,556 --> 00:05:36,676
So, what do we have to start with?

96
00:05:36,676 --> 00:05:41,026
We want to count back we have
to start with a big number.

97
00:05:41,156 --> 00:05:42,966
And then how many are we counting backwards?

98
00:05:43,286 --> 00:05:43,636
>> Nine.

99
00:05:44,406 --> 00:05:48,586
>> Okay. Show me what you did.

100
00:05:48,586 --> 00:05:54,376
>> Nineteen, 18, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, nine.

101
00:05:54,376 --> 00:05:59,626
>> How many fingers?

102
00:05:59,796 --> 00:06:01,476
Seven fingers.

103
00:06:01,476 --> 00:06:06,506
So, that means that 16 minus nine is?

104
00:06:06,506 --> 00:06:06,656
>> Seven.

105
00:06:06,656 --> 00:06:13,176
>> Seven. That's kind of a hard one, isn't it?

106
00:06:13,346 --> 00:06:17,196
Who else? Any other way, Maddison?

107
00:06:17,316 --> 00:06:19,136
>> I used the calendar.

108
00:06:19,846 --> 00:06:22,526
>> You used the calendar.

109
00:06:22,636 --> 00:06:25,416
How did you use the calendar?

110
00:06:25,416 --> 00:06:32,506
>> I found my [inaudible], and I counted up
seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,

00:06:32,946 --> 00:06:37,476
16 until I found 16, and I counted back nine.

112
00:06:37,476 --> 00:06:39,596
>> Okay. So, she kept counting.

113
00:06:39,686 --> 00:06:41,676
This is seven.

114
00:06:42,246 --> 00:06:49,796
Eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

115
00:06:49,876 --> 00:06:52,746
Is that number 16, did I count?

116
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:55,376
It is. So, here's 16.

117
00:06:55,376 --> 00:06:56,556
Let's [inaudible].

118
00:06:56,816 --> 00:07:02,416
So, she's on 16, and then
you counted back how many?

119
00:07:02,596 --> 00:07:02,816
>> Nine.

120
00:07:03,066 --> 00:07:03,526
>> Nine. All right.

121
00:07:03,526 --> 00:07:09,016
So, we started here and we count back.

122
00:07:10,686 --> 00:07:17,236
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine.

123
00:07:17,416 --> 00:07:22,276
And she was on today.

124
00:07:22,446 --> 00:07:29,176
So, that just worked out nicely, didn't it?

125
00:07:31,166 --> 00:07:36,106
So, she got seven by using the calendar.

126
00:07:36,196 --> 00:07:38,556
What is the calendar like?

127
00:07:39,446 --> 00:07:46,866
If you're using the calendar that's
the same thing as using a what?

128
00:07:46,946 --> 00:07:47,966
>> Number line.

129
00:07:48,006 --> 00:07:48,756
>> A number line.

130
00:07:48,756 --> 00:07:56,786
But she found something in the room
that she could use that had numbers

131
00:07:56,786 --> 00:07:59,146
on it, so she could get the answer.

132
00:07:59,146 --> 00:08:00,346

133
00:08:00,426 --> 00:08:00,946
>> I used double.

134
00:08:01,276 --> 00:08:02,736
>> You used doubles.

135
00:08:02,876 --> 00:08:04,396
Tell me how.

136
00:08:04,916 --> 00:08:09,636
>> Nine and nine is 18.

137
00:08:09,776 --> 00:08:12,866
>> Nine and nine is 18.

138
00:08:13,256 --> 00:08:13,656
All right.

139
00:08:13,656 --> 00:08:16,066
>> Nine and eight is 17.

140
00:08:16,906 --> 00:08:19,426
>> Nine and eight is 17 then.

141
00:08:19,426 --> 00:08:23,356
>> And then nine and seven is 16.

142
00:08:23,356 --> 00:08:25,716
>> My numbers aren't writing.

143
00:08:25,716 --> 00:08:34,636
Sorry. Nine and seven is 16.

144
00:08:34,746 --> 00:08:40,336
And then when you got here what did you know?

145
00:08:40,336 --> 00:08:41,846
Nine and seven is 16.

146
00:08:41,846 --> 00:08:43,736
Then 16 and nine is seven.

147
00:08:43,946 --> 00:08:50,766
She used what we call doubles minus two or near
doubles because she had to actually go back two

148
00:08:50,766 --> 00:08:53,776
to get there, but look at her thinking.

149
00:08:53,966 --> 00:08:54,386
Watch. Look up here.

150
00:08:54,386 --> 00:08:57,746
This is a little bit confusing
but it's really smart.

151
00:08:57,746 --> 00:08:59,406
She saw something that she knows.

152
00:08:59,406 --> 00:09:02,706
She saw nine and she thought
nine, I know what goes with nine.

153
00:09:02,736 --> 00:09:04,076
Nine and nine is what?

154
00:09:04,076 --> 00:09:04,386
>> Eighteen.

155
00:09:04,466 --> 00:09:07,616
>> Is 18. So, she thought
but 18's not what I want.

156
00:09:07,616 --> 00:09:09,456
Which way do I need to go to get to 16?

157
00:09:09,456 --> 00:09:09,646
>> Back.

158
00:09:09,646 --> 00:09:10,476
>> Backwards.

159
00:09:10,856 --> 00:09:14,286
So, nine and nine is 18,
so I need to go back one.

160
00:09:14,696 --> 00:09:17,646
Nine and eight then is 17.

161
00:09:17,906 --> 00:09:18,846
Am I there yet?

162
00:09:19,056 --> 00:09:19,336
>> No.

163
00:09:19,336 --> 00:09:22,066
>> No. You're going to go back again.

164
00:09:22,166 --> 00:09:23,466
Nine and seven would be.

165
00:09:23,496 --> 00:09:23,706
>> Sixteen.

166
00:09:23,736 --> 00:09:24,366
>> Do I have the right number?

167
00:09:24,396 --> 00:09:24,486
>> Yes.

168
00:09:24,516 --> 00:09:26,856
>> So, if I know that nine and seven is
16 then I know that 16 minus nine must be?

169
00:09:26,886 --> 00:09:28,236
Seven. I think you're the one
that did that the other day.

170
00:09:28,266 --> 00:09:29,586
I wanted to see if you would
come up with that again.

171
00:09:29,616 --> 00:09:30,246
Yes, you can use doubles.

172
00:09:30,276 --> 00:09:32,286
It's easier if they're a little bit closer,
and you don't have to go that far away,

173
00:09:32,316 --> 00:09:33,366
but if you know them then you can use them.

174
00:09:33,396 --> 00:09:35,136
Remember how we talked about using
something that you do know to figure

175
00:09:35,166 --> 00:09:35,886
out something that you don't know.

176
00:09:35,916 --> 00:09:37,326
She didn't just know that
nine and seven made 16.

177
00:09:37,356 --> 00:09:38,496
But she did know that nine and nine made 18.

178
00:09:38,526 --> 00:09:40,026
So, she knew how to go backwards
to figure out what she needed.

179
00:09:40,056 --> 00:09:40,476
Nice job. Who has [audio cuts out]?

180
00:09:40,506 --> 00:09:42,876
I guess I would say I try not to model it too
much during the number talk because I want them

181
00:09:42,906 --> 00:09:44,766
to do the talking, but when we work in
a small group and when we're working

182
00:09:44,796 --> 00:09:46,746
on sorting flash cards, for example,
we'll talk about when we see the double.

183
00:09:46,776 --> 00:09:48,576
That 14 minus seven, oh, I know
that seven plus seven is 14.

184
00:09:48,606 --> 00:09:49,986
So, I know that 14 minus seven has to be seven.

185
00:09:50,016 --> 00:09:51,246
And I see them using that
same talk that they use,

186
00:09:51,276 --> 00:09:52,446
if you want to call it that, during group time.

187
00:09:52,476 --> 00:09:53,346
They use it during their number talk.

188
00:09:53,376 --> 00:09:54,906
They internalize what's going on
and they remember what we said,

189
00:09:54,936 --> 00:09:55,836
but then they also go back to group,

190
00:09:55,866 --> 00:09:58,176
and I see some of the other kids using those
same strategies because I can talk all I want,

191
00:09:58,206 --> 00:09:59,976
but sometimes a child explaining it
in their own words makes it better.

192
00:10:00,046 --> 00:10:01,976
It makes it easier for them to understand.

193
00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:02,000
