Fourth Grade Factoring

In our math 212 classes, we've been working on the practice of Number Talks.  Through Number Talks, kids develop their mental math proficiency and they build their deep thinking skills.  Walking into a classroom engaged in Number Talks is like walking into pure math energy.  It's just the neatest thing to watch.  Here's some evidence of 4th grade factoring during Number Talks this week.  Kids love finding factors of numbers.  May sound crazy to your adult brain...but seriously...kids will factor numbers on markerboards for their entire recess if you let them.  Why not?
