Using Slow Reveal to Create Engagement and Build Number Sense

**ECP Credit Available** Session description: Engage students in number sense and estimation activities using a process of revealing, reflecting, and adjusting. We will explore three math routines that utilize 'Slow Reveal' to spark joy and build reasoning skills: numberless word problems, math detective mysteries, and estimation activities known as Esti-mysteries. Number sense is a process which develops slowly as a result of exploring numbers and visualizing them in different contexts; it grows as students make connections. (Van de Walle et al. 2018) Come join us for some fun number sense activities that you can use in the K-3 classroom. In this session, participants will: Practice the use of slow reveal with numberless word problems to clarify contextual problems and build awareness of number quantities.Explore how slow reveal can be used with Esti-Mysteries to develop benchmarks for estimatingDevelop their own clues to Math Detective Mysteries to explore various attributes of numbers.
