There is an article cataloged here that talks about starting children young at solving problems in a given scenario. This encourages them to think out loud and talk through problems. I highly recommend the article: Unsilence Students' Voices.

There are some great morning routines listed in this site from Mathwire. These activities encourage teachers to create routines and use mathematics. Students can share the responsibilities to track the weather, count the number of days they have been in school, tell the lunch menu, etc. Promotes routines, gives everyone a turn, and incorporates math!

5 Practices for orchestrating Productive Mathematics Discussions by Margaret S. Smith and Mary Kay Stein is a good resource. It includes a professional development guide.

Thanks and webinar available too!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll be sure to check out this resource. I found an article about it online and realized that these 5 practices are also described in a webinar, Orchestrating Productive Discussions of Student Responses, also by Margaret Smith, found here on Mathlanding. Thanks for helping me to put these together!
