Grade 5 Students Talk Numbers

Grade 5 Students Talk Numbers

Grade 5 students engaged in Number Talks. Using Number Talks help teachers listen to their students thinking about numbers in order to deepen their understanding of the concept. Number Talks allow students to go step-by-step to solve a problem and make sense of numbers.

Grade 5 students engaged in understanding place value and adding decimals. One student identified that in the problem they worked on the whole number(5) was not lined up in its place to be added.

Students were able to reason, make sense, and construct strategies to build understanding of the concept.
