Number Talks: Helping Children Build Mental Math and Computation Strategies
Making Number Talks Matter: Developing Mathematical Practices and Deepening Understanding

Perfect for you if...

You teach maths to year 7, 8, or 9 students and want concrete activities you can use tomorrow without hours of prep.
You're looking to build genuine conceptual understanding, not just procedural answers, and want strategies that work across different ability levels.
You're tired of worksheets and want to create classroom conversations where students explain their thinking.

Maybe not for you if...

You teach primary school or teach maths primarily through textbooks and standardised tests.
You prefer highly structured scripted lessons and don't enjoy adapting activities to your students' needs.
You want deep theoretical background on why number talks work, not just practical classroom-ready ideas.
