Splat! Level B includes numbers through 10 and is ideal for grades 1-2. If you look at the images below, you’ll see that some of the Splats separate the visible numbers and create a Part-Part-Part-Whole scenario. The immediate question is, “How many dots are under the Splat?” You will be amazed at how many different ways students see this, solve this, and even how they mentally move the dots around to decompose and make sense of the numbers. On the next click, the SPLAT appears and covers some of the dots. Then, when you click, the total number appears in the corner. In these sequences the dots appear so that students can count them. Splat! Level A includes numbers through 10 and is ideal for grades K-1. Let’s take a closer look at each of the Splat! levels include in 20 Days of Number Sense and Rich Math Talk. Since every day includes materials across a wide range of grade levels, there is also a really good opportunity to take a look at content from other grade levels and offer even more challenges to your students. They will be able to see and explore multiple strategies for decomposing numbers, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and connecting many concepts together. Ranging from Splats through 10 through Fraction Splats! and now including 10 of the most challenging Splats! that I have ever publicly released, your students will have very rich opportunities to lean into number sense and richly discuss their mathematical thinking while also hearing from other students.

Not only have the 20 Days of Number Sense and Rich Math Talk begun, but both students and teachers have detected the power of invitations, estimation, writing, sharing their ideas aloud, and experiencing the joy and wonder of math.Īfter the highly invitational nature of the Estimation Clipboard, opportunities to richly explore numbers continue in the Splat! images which are all brand new – and are all designed to work in both PowerPoint and Google Slides (just like everything else in this series – so feel free to use either one). Don’t be surprised if there is a lot cheering as the answers are revealed.ĭays 1-5 have set the stage with The Estimation Clipboard. Then right before each reveal, your classroom will become very quite in anticipation of the reveal.

You’ll find the power in the pattern of (1) students estimating (2) writing their estimate (3) explaining what their estimate is, and why they chose it. As students WRITE their estimates (particularly for images 3 & 4) the math talk in your classroom will become very rich.

The Estimation Clipboard strategy is also where a very important math instructional reality becomes abundantly clear: Writing is a powerful springboard into math discourse. The Estimation Clipboard strategy is a very invitational way to draw students into rich number sense discussions as it layers in more and more context and continues to provide students with estimation opportunities. I’ve opened the series with a brand new set of Estimation Clipboards.
