Good luck in the giveaway! Now, let's talk about hundreds charts!
Double digit addition and subtraction with regrouping.
Yes, you can practice it on a 100 chart!
These spring pictures are easy to create using addition and subtraction within 100 (mostly with regrouping, but there are a few problems without regrouping so you can differentiate and include students who aren't ready for that step yet). Simply print the problems on colored paper - each page is labeled with the color - trim, and have students complete the problems! See how we've completed the problems, then turned the paper over to put the answers on the back?
When we put the completed cards into the hundreds pocket chart we create a picture:
Hundreds charts don't have to be made of paper - it's easy to assign digital 100s chars that students can complete on a device from anywhere! Absent students can complete their work digitally, and if the copier is broken, you still have your math practice ready to go. There's no need to grade either - a picture appears to let students know they got it right. Win-win-win!
This is my new favorite! I've recently started making my hundreds pocket charts with different skills, then bundling them together. Why? Because of the amazing flexibility for differentiation!
For example: I'm tutoring siblings, one entering kindergarten, the other entering 2nd grade. Mr. K is pretty good at reading 2 digit numbers, but needs a little more practice. Ms. 2nd grade has numbers down, but struggles a little with numbers in base 10. By pulling out the light blue cards for him, and the dark blue and white cards for her, they were able to work together to create this whale picture.
Another of my students is fairly good with base 10 blocks, but really needs to practice addition and subtraction with regrouping. I knew she'd enjoy making this pocket chart, but 100 addition and subtraction problems would be too many for her - so I pulled the green cards from the addition and subtraction set, and the blue cards from the NBT set, and she practiced both skills just the right amount.
Think about how often you need to differentiate math skills for your students, or to review a skill with a child. Now it's easy for everyone to get individualized skills practice while working together with their peers of all abilities!
Get your whole class working together to create a BIG picture, like these awesome murals!
This America the Beautiful mural is made of 30 hundreds charts - and each one is differentiated 3 ways, so you can take a group of students and have them work together at their own levels to create amber waves of grain and purple mountain majesty - from sea to shining sea! (Don't have 30 students? I bet you have some fast workers who will be thrilled to do more than one!).
Okay, I'm kind of cheating here. You already know that hundreds charts can be used with a lot of different themes. Why not combine them with social studies or science themes to increase the time students spend thinking about state symbols, animals of the Chinese Zodiac, or what different kinds of bears look like?
Hundreds charts are so versatile, and so much fun. Is it any wonder I love them so much? I hope you found new ways to use them as you read today!
Have a great day,
Paula
