What Is Math Talk?
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) defines math talk as “the ways of representing, thinking, talking, and agreeing and disagreeing that teachers and students use to engage in [mathematical] tasks” (NCTM, 1991) Begin by relating something that is current in today news that fits the specific standard you are teaching. Take some TIME to discuss it with students in groups or as a class. Use any kind of physical demonstrations if possible. Use the THINK, PAIR and SHARE strategy. "This opportunity to connect math and language benefits all the students and deepens their understanding of math concepts. The teacher listens as students converse about their problem-solving process."
