Number Talks is an instructional routine that supports students in building mental math and computation strategies.  These routines are perfect for the diverse needs of special education students, as number talks can be modified to fit the needs of IEP goals and the individual needs of each student.

The Number Talks book, by Sherry Parrish, has more than 850 purposefully designed number talks and a DVD featuring 19 number talks filmed in actual classrooms.

We will go over how to run a Budget Activity Report, a Financial Activity Report, a Financial Summary Report, a General Ledger Report, and how to make presets work for you.
