We have been starting off our math time with open-ended number talks--brief discussions which allow students to share their thinking of math processes out loud with each other. This helps us to develop number sense, build confidence, and recognize that there is no "right" way to "do" math. I also love these open-ended style questions to really emphasize that last point. The variety of observations students share always surprises me!
