Pictures for Number Talks

Do you need a set of Real life Pictures for Number talks in your classrooms?
Then this is the set for you

The value of using authentic images in your math lessons and rotations-Mathematics educators have long known that engaging students in visual representations of mathematics is extremely helpful for their learning. Utilizing imagery and visual memory can be very helpful when learning mathematics such as proportions. A single picture can help a student define and remember a concept, or it can even help them to recall the steps required to compute a problem.

-Students need daily opportunities to engage with mathematical ideas in purposeful and playful ways.

-They provide time for authentic, independent practice that connects to what they have learned through whole class quality instruction.

-Students need opportunities to develop the core and curricular competencies. Through the ‘doing’ of the mathematics, students will be building their confidence of themselves as mathematicians and seeing the connection of mathematics to  their world.

-They give students choice, which increases motivation and fosters a positive disposition towards Mathematics.

-They give teachers an opportunity to meet with students one-on-one or in small groups to provide explicit instruction, engage in guided math, and/or have conferences.

The images are divided into 5 sets with teaching suggestions for each one.
-Set 1- Arrays and Multiplication. Tesselations
-Set 2- Working mathematically
-Set 3- Growing Patterns
-Set 4- Estimation
-Set 5 - Shape and Design
-Set 6- Graphing and interpreting data from images
-Set 7- Coordinates and mapping

What people have said about this product
Extremely satisfied
"We used this resource to get students in a routine during the beginning of math sessions during virtual learning. I post the picture and ask the students, “What do you see?” They describe the objects, count them, talk about patterns and many other mathematical concepts and ideas. It’s great to get kids talking to each other and warmed up for the day. "

“This is a great and engaging resource to review Math concepts!”

"This was very helpful but also challenging "
