Today we started off with a different kind of number talk called a "dot talk." A dot talk is where I quickly reveal a set of dots and the students have to determine how many there are without having time to actually count them all. Since we're getting in to integers, I decided to use positive and negative dots and asked them to determine what number is being represented. They really liked this kind of number talk since it was at a level that everyone could participate. :) Then, I gave the students time to finish their pre assessments they started on the block day. Afterwards, they worked on the visualizing integers worksheet. We're going to discuss these more tomorrow.
