As each day unfolds at Polk Central Elementary, fifth-graders in Julia Tackett’s class participate at some point in a Number Talk.
Number Talks are short daily exercises lasting some 10 minutes, and are aimed at building number sense. Number sense is the ability to play with numbers, meaning students can visualize problem solving, perform calculations quickly and are flexible in their mathematical strategy.
