Doggy 100’s Chart

Anonymous — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT

One of my favorite ways to teach number sense is using the 100’s chart. It is so great for teaching kids the relationships between numbers. My kids go to a 100’s chart center every week during Math Centers. (You can find my new 100’s chart math center packet on TPT.) In addition, I have stumbled upon the cutest game called Give the Dog a Bone that works on using the 100’s chart and I liked it so much that I added it to my class sqworl, which I send home to the parents. My kids use it every day at the computer center during my Math Centers rotation. It gives students 60 seconds to find as many numbers as they can on the 100’s chart. Since I only have one computer in my room, this 60 second time is a great management tool! Each kid gets to do a 60 second rotation, and then goes to the back of the line. (Only 3 kids are allowed at this center at any one time). By the time they get bored again – you know they only have 2 minute attention spans at this age anyways – they are back up to the computer to try again!

Doggy 100’s Chart Website

I love, love, love using the 100’s chart to teach math and number relationships. In fact, right now two of my math centers are based on the 100’s chart. I have a Hundred’s Chart center, which you can find on TPT, and then my computer center is also based on the 100’s chart too. I am using the website Give the Dog a Bone, which is just an amazing website! It gives students a blank 100’s chart with dog bones “hidden” under numbers. If students click on the correct number, they find the bone. If they click on the wrong number, it tells them the number they clicked on – giving them a clue to help them find the number they are looking for. Plus, the best part for my classroom, is it is set on a 60 second timer. Since I have just one computer in my room, I allow 3 students to go to the computer center. They go, and take turns, so with a 60 second timer, the longest they ever have to wait for their turn is 2 minutes – which is about the length of the attention span of most of my students!
