Fraction Talks

A Fraction Talk is a discussion-rich routine that invites multiple ways of identifying fractions. They are similar to number talks, but instead of drawing out strategies through mental calculations, students evaluate images of shapes and identify fractions. The Fraction Talks website has a huge collection of images to inspire discussion and exploration, as well as suggestions for using this routine in your class.

Spotlight on Total Physical Response

See how Total Physical Response (TPR) connects language to physical movement, helping learners understand and remember new vocabulary. By pairing actions with words, TPR lowers the affective filter and reduces anxiety, making it especially helpful for beginning learners.
