100 Day Math Activities

Thanks for sending in 100 small items with your child!  We did some math activities in small groups last week.
The kids were asked to outline the perimeter of a heart with their items, and then find the perimeter by counting the objects.  This explores the concept of measuring using non-standard items of the same size.  It also practices estimating as they had to guess how many items they used. They also used one-to-one correspondence when counting the objects.
Some of the kids also practiced grouping the items in 10's and counting by tens!  Fun with math!
