Thanks for watching! If you want to try the number strings slides in your class, here they are (please note the 5 and 10s frames in the actual slides go from left-to-right, top to bottom, as opposed to shown in this video):

yes I use number talks, our county requires it and some days it seems I can get to this and other days it just isn't possible, I did buy your slides and can't wait to try them in my classroom! Thank you so much for the visual....

I use dices to teach numbers. Roll the dice and do some math with them.

Do you introduce the slides when you are teaching the new skill or after the skill has been taught?

How much research has been done on this?
