Many students are not engaged here. Should a number talk be short and focused? If each student has a white board, then all students would be engaged and as a teacher you could see how all students are thinking. Sharing would still happen, but each student would be involved.

Do you ever call on students who don't raise their hands? If not, what is your reasoning?

I love the setting, and working with partners. This is great critical thinking and strategy work. I also like that they are not intimidated to try and answer the problem even if they are wrong.

Great job of focusing on the student's thinking more than the correct answer.

I like the way the teacher gave the students wait time. The students also had to justify their way of thinking.
