Number talks in kindergarten, first, and second grade classrooms are so important to helping students think flexibly about numbers and gain conceptual understandings of all skills!

These measurement math talks are perfect to guide student thinking and help foster meaningful math discussions in your classroom. This unit scaffolds learning as students work on comparing lengths/heights of objects, ordering objects by length, identifying how long/tall something is (using standard and nonstandard units of measurement), identifying correct ways to measure, and determining the difference between the lengths of objects.

This set includes 24 slides to help students with:

• Measurement

Within each skill, there are 24 different slides and they include an editable slide so you can add your own problems.

How do you use these?

Math talks should be implemented in your K-2 classroom every single day for about 5 minutes per day! You can simply display a few of the number talks and use the guided questions I provide to talk about math in a meaningful way with your students. These are also great to use in small groups on a particular skill that needs review!

Please download the preview to see examples of the different math talks included.

Enjoy!
