Number Talk Images and Templates

This collection from Math Talks for Slides provides ready-to-use images and templates for number talks. Number talks are short daily routines that build number sense, mental math strategies, and mathematical discourse.

How to Use

  • Display an image and ask students "How many do you see?" or "What do you notice?"
  • Give think time before inviting students to share strategies
  • Celebrate multiple strategies — there is no one right way to see the math
