On Tuesday we had been at school for 100 days this year! We celebrated this mile stone by doing things by the 100. Most children in the class brought along 100 objects. We found the quickest way to count 100 items is by putting them into groups of 10.
How many groups of 10 are there in 100?
Here we are with our 100 items:
Saydee found 100 magnets in our classroom
Sam has 100 lentils
Ethan brought 100 toothpicks
Stephanie has 100 loom bands
Summer has 100 loom bands too
Madison also brought along 100 loom bands
Allie brought 100 pink buttons
Georgia found 100 blocks in our classroom
Charlee brought 100 pop corn kernels
Myia brought 100 loom bands
Tom brought along 100 marshmallows. YUM!
Anouk brought 100 pieces of spiral pasta
Makayla brought along 100 pieces of lego
Jack brought 102 popsicle sticks
He had two packs of sticks - how many were in each pack?
Olivia brought along 100 small stones
Isabelle brought along 100 rose petals
Josh brought along 100 pumpkin seeds
George brought 100 chocolate buttons YUM!
Kazia brought 100 pieces of nutrigrain
Brianah brought along 100 silver ball sprinkles
(These were tricky to count! She did well!)
Well done everyone on finding and bringing along your 100 items!
We were given the task to estimate how far we could go in 100 steps from our classroom door. Some children thought 100 steps would get them to the school gate, others thought 100 steps would get them to the edge of the playground, some thought they might be able to get to the playground and back in 100 steps. When we tested it we found that most of us reached the middle of the ramp outside room 7 some children took ginormous steps and reached the edge of the tennis court! Great estimating!
