Celebrating the 100th Day of School

We celebrated our 100th day of school in math this week.  Our 100th day of school was on Wednesday, February 8th.  We played "Pop-It" and out pop-it number was 100.  We counted by 10s and by 5s.  Ask your child to explain this interactive and engaging game.
We also explored the number 100 with cheerios.  The students were given a handful of cheerios, which they were encouraged to group (or chunk) before stringing together to make a necklace.  Some students decided to chunk their chereos in groups of 10s, while others decided to group them in 5s.  Some students also collected math manipulatives, such as our number grid to help count.  The math creativity was amazing.  Here are some pictures to see their thinking strategies.  I wonder if the students also decided to chunk their cheerios when they ate them?
