Talk moves

We have recently received some PD around using the talk moves to develop mathematical language.   I teach 5 year olds and developing language is a huge focus of mine.
I have really made a point of using the talk move, repeating.  I have found this very useful because the children know that they might be asked to repeat what a peer has said and although it we often have to repeat things more then once, the children are getting better at this. Another key thing I am pushing through repeating is that the children should be learning from each other. I have worked on making sure they understand that they need to listen to their peers to learn form them.
