We have hundreds of Look-Think-Talk activities on our website and one way to find just what you're looking for is by focusing on the central mathematical question you will ask students to think about. Each question can lead to different kinds of big ideas, and in this series of videos we'll share with you what opportunities posing a particular question can open up. We encourage you to explore new questions you can ask to get into deep mathematical discussions.

This week, we focus on the question: What patterns do you see? By one definition, mathematics is the study of patterns. Pattern-seeking is an inherently human act that we engage in from birth. But we often don't spend enough time on patterning in the elementary grades, and we miss an opportunity to nurture young children's capacity to find and build patterns in their everyday world. Watch our What patterns do you see? video to see how to look closely at the patterns all around us and give one of these activities a try with your students tomorrow.

Number Talks by Sherry Parrish:

Click here - Sample of the Book

Number talks are short daily routines that help students develop computational fluency.

Not intended to replace current curriculum or take up majority of time spent on math.

They are 5 to 15 minutes long and most effective if done daily.

In order for children to become computationally fluent, they need to know particular mathematical concepts that go beyond what is required to memorize basic facts or procedures. Students need to understand that:

* Numbers are composed of smaller numbers.

* What we know about one number can help us figure out other numbers.

* What we know about parts of smaller numbers can help us with parts of larger numbers.

* Numbers are organized into groups of tens and ones (and hundreds, tens and ones and so forth.)

* What we know about numbers to 10 helps us with numbers to 100 and beyond

Topics: Mental math, numerical fluency; argument & critique
Materials: White board or projector
Common Core: Variable, and especially MP3 and NF

This mental math routine creates powerful positive habits for students to understand
and think productively about fractions.

Fraction talks developed as a way to use the Number Talk routine to target fractions. A growing body of fraction talks are available at fractiontalks.com.

I've created a writeup below for how to use fraction talks, as well as a collection here which are ideal for introducing fraction talks to students early in their understanding of fractions, and then continuing in slowly increasing levels of difficulty.

Data talks are short 5-10 minute classroom discussions to help students develop data literacy. This pedagogical strategy is similar in structure to a number talk, but instead of numbers students are shown a data visual and asked what interests them. In a data talk the teacher does not have to be an…

The age of data is upon us! Complex datasets underpin nearly every aspect of modern life, demanding data fluency by all students. This set of dynamic data science activities is designed for grades 9-14. By working with data frequently and repeatedly, learners develop experience and competence, gaining fluency with the data moves necessary for structuring, examining, and diving into data, and ultimately building excitement for their ability to work with data.

All dynamic data science activities are embedded in our Common Online Data Analysis Platform (CODAP) software, and follow a similar design: students make context-specific actions, store their data, organize it, analyze it, and visualize it in the surrounding CODAP environment. These activities were made possible through our National Science Foundation-funded Data Science Games project, and are aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core Standards.

CODAP provides an immersive, exploratory data analysis experience with dynamically linked data representations, including graphs, maps, and tables.
