IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

We have added a new exciting thing to our Math Materials.  This week we introduced the hundreds chart.  The kids helped me write the numbers 1 to 100.  This is a very valuable tool when talking about number sense.  It is a visual so kids can see patterns in numbers.  As we progress with our skip counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s we will change numbers so we can visually see the skip.  While I have all these educational uses, I do believe the kids favorite thing to do with the hundreds chart is play “The Missing Number Game”  This is where a child goes up and takes out a number from the pocket.  The rest of then class then opens their eyes and has to guess the missing number.  I believe they would play this all day if I let them 🙂
