Math Talks, Carole Fullerton and Blog Updates

Math and Number Talks are a great strategy to get students working on the communication competencies and computational fluency in Math.  They can be applied from K-12 (and beyond). California teacher Fawn Nguyen has compiled a great list of resources for this strategy.  Have you started using it? Comment by clicking the bubble above.
