Today we spent some time looking at a 99 chart compared to a 100 chart. The kids noticed that the 99 chart started with 0 and ended with 99. They also noticed that the 99 chart had the multiples of 10 at the beginning of the rows instead of at the end of the rows like a 100 chart does. We spent some time quickly finding numbers on the 99 chart that I called out. Then students cut sections of the 99 chart apart to make puzzles for each other. Using their number sense students put these puzzles together.
Another way for students to practice counting sequences, relationships between numbers and to build their number sense is to play this type of activity at home. You can print off 100 charts (found on the right hand side of our webpage to download) and cut them into sections to create puzzles for your child to put together.
