Number Talks

Number talks are an easy way to develop math and problem solving skills using everyday items such as clocks, money, measuring tapes, thermometers and more! As a mom, teacher and researcher, I have learned that kids who have fun with math in a natural way, become confident math learners at home and in school.

It's easy to start! Use your child's questions to start number talks!
