Number Talk

7821-3462=

Strategies: 7821                                    7000-3000=4000                 

                - 3462   = algerozem              800-400=400

                  4359                                     20-60=-40           = place value 

                                                               1-2=-1

                                                               4000+400=4400 

                                                               4400 - -60=4340                                                                              

                                                               4340 - -1=4359

This is a number talk and somethings we do it in class in the morning. Basicly a number talk is were someone writes a equation and you all write as many strategies as you can. After a while you take turns writing strategies up on the board so if you didn't write a strategie that is on the board you can go and ask the person how to do it. So its basicly learning new strategies.

You have a lot of knowledge that you can share with the class. It is great to see you challenge yourself to find more and more ways of attacking problems.
