| A Dot Talk |
Today, I went to a follow-up session for the math conference I went to over the summer.
One example of something we have learned, is a dot talk. I would flash this picture up real quickly and ask the kids to count the number of circles. Then, I would flash the picture up again, for a short time.
I would ask how many dots the kids saw, having them tell me one at a time and recording their results.
After that, I would then ask how they saw the dots (in what type of pattern). I would then display multiple copies of the above dot pattern, on sheets, so that I could circle how kids saw the dots. It sparks a wonderful discussion.
