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!”

A Social Narrative is an effective way to teach children how to navigate a new situation, such as starting school or preschool or in this instance learning to go to school ‘virtually’.
Social Narratives can help children understand what to expect at school or preschool.
Encouraging children to try using independence in problem solving in situations where safety is a prime concern, is a common social skill that needs to be frequently addressed.
As educators we need to explicitly teach these skills.
This story can be used to help children to broaden their technology skills and learn to work in a new learning environment away from school.

How to use this resource
Subitising is the ability to recognise patterns of dots instantly without having to count them. This is integrated into the Early Mathematical framework as a basis for building further strategic thinking after the Emergent Stage. Counting by ones can often be a strategy that can be a hard one to shift with some learners. Ongoing exposure to these regular patterns can be useful to lead on to more complex strategies.
The following cards are an extension of this basic concept, the students look for those patterns within a larger group in order to get a notion of combining groups of patterns in order to ‘see’ a larger number without having to count.
The following video is an excellent example of how to open discussions with your students and encourage them to explain their mathematical thinking. Simply click onto this link, or the image to watch the presentation. You can ask your students to ‘draw’ an image of what they see, or simply discuss this in pairs, groups, or a teacher led discussion. (Counting by one is not encouraged with this activity).
You will get both a powerpoint and PDF presentation
