Can you believe it is the 100th day of school already? Our Kindergarten, first, and second grades held lots of celebrations Thursday to mark this momentous day in our school calendar.
Celebrating the 100th day of school is a great way to get kids excited about math. Establishing number sense is extremely important in our earliest grades. Some wonderful activities I saw K-2 teachers doing this day incorporated all mathematics concepts. For example, there was counting by 2, 5, and 10s to 100, counting coins to a dollar (or 100 cents), recording a hundred seconds of time, graphing 100 items, writing equations that equaled 100 and much, much, more.
The 100th day of school is not only a signal that our students are “100 days smarter,” it is also a way to help them fall in love with mathematics!
