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.

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.
