Engaging Hundreds Chart Activities - PART 1

**This will be a 2 part post in which I will discuss different ways to engage students in activities using hundreds charts. Each post will include three activities to engage students.**

The hundreds chart is a tool for students to explore and think about the number system. Students can use it in a variety of ways to help build understanding of place value, number patterns, skip counting, addition, subtraction, and multiples of a number.

There are many ways to use hundreds charts, below are 3 great ideas:
Hundreds Chart Warm Up Activities
Important Number Warm Up Activity
Provide each student with several chips or counters and a copy of a 100's chart. First highlight an important number to you. For example, my number is 6 because it represents the 6th month of the year, which is June (the month I was born). I ask the students to find and cover the number 6 as well. I then ask the students to cover up 2 - 3 numbers that are important to them. From this point, I provide an opportunity for the students to pair up with someone from their group to discuss why that number is important to them. Typically, I call on 5 different students to share out why that number is important to them. After the students do this quick activity, allow them to choose 2 of their important numbers and determine how far apart they are. For instance, using the numbers 6 and 20 the students will find the difference is 14.

Guess My Number Warm Up Activity

As another warm up activity idea, I ask the students to guess my number. With the hundreds chart in front of each student I provide clues to the students and give them the opportunity to guess which number I am thinking of. For example I give the following clues:

My number is a two digit number.

My number is greater than 7 and less than 17.

You can only land on my number by skip counting by 2's.

The two digits in my number add up to 5.

What's my number? Answer is 14.

Provide each student with a hundreds chart and clear chips. If you do not have clear chips, laminate the hundreds chart and provide each student with a dry erase marker (they will be able to shade in the numbers that you call out). The students can work in pairs during this activity to explore and discover various number patterns.
Discovering Patterns of Skip Counting by 5's:
When you first introduce students to this activity it is important to start with familiar patterns or numbers. From this point you can progress to patterns that are not as obvious to students.

Ask the students to place clear chips on or shade in the following numbers: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. Allow the students to discuss the patterns they notice with partners. Select several speakers to share what he or she noticed with the class.

Next, ask students to place the chips on another set of familiar numbers like: 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70. Allow the students to discuss the patterns they notice with partners. Select a different speakers to share with the class. (See images below).

Important Questions to Ask During this Activity Include:

What patterns do you notice?

How did you see these patterns? Prove it by showing it to us.

What do you think will happen if I change the starting number? Will the patterns remain the same or will they change? Will you still skip count by the same amount?

Do you notice any patterns with the digits in the numbers? What are they?

Also have the students look at less conventional patterns that still skip count by 5's, such as those in the images below. The most important part of this activity is to allow the students time to discuss and share the patterns they notice. This directly correlates to Standards of Math Practice # 3 - Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

Apply the same concept when having the students skip count by 10's. Check out the images below.
Hundreds Chart Mania Center
Another way to engage students in hundreds chart activities is through the Hundreds Chart Mania Center. This activity promotes understanding of numbers using hundreds charts. The pack includes hundreds charts through 1,000 and three different spinners. If you like this activity, you can find it here at my TpT store.Each student gets a hundreds chart and 1 chip. They start on the green square or the smallest number on that chart. The students spin a spinner and moves the chip the number of spaces they spun. For example, if the student has a chip on the number 10 and they spin a +10, they count and move the chip to 20. The goal of the game is to be the first player to get to the yellow square or multiple of 100 (i.e. 200, 300, etc.)

A recording sheet is also included so that students can track their progress.

This is part 2 of a two part post on Hundred Chart Activities. If you have read part 1 of the post, welcome back. If this is your first post with me I would like to welcome you.

The hundreds chart is a tool for students to explore and think about the number system. Students can use it in a variety of ways to help build understanding of place value, number patterns, skip counting, addition, subtraction, and multiples of a number.

There are many ways to use hundreds charts, below are 3 additional ideas:

The Hundreds Chart puzzle is any hundreds chart that you cut up into sections for the students to put back together, like the example above. Organizing the Hundreds Chart

1. Pick a hundreds chart.

2. Cut up the hundreds chart into 5 - 8 different sections.

3. Place the cut up sections into a ziplock bag for easy storage and organization.

Allow the students time to review the hundreds chart prior to it being cut up. Next, present the different pieces to the students. Tell students that you have cut up the hundreds chart and you need help putting the chart back together. Allow the students to work with partners to put the pieces of the hundred chart puzzle back together. As the students put the pieces back together consider asking the following guiding questions:

Explain why you placed that section next to the other section.

How do you know this is correct?

What did you learn about numbers as a result of this activity?

Look at the pictures below for help.

Intended Learning
Playing this game allows the students to understand the number sequence using the hundreds chart.

Partner two students to play Race to 100. Provide each player with a hundreds chart and a game piece (ie. counting chip). The two students should also share one number cube. Each player will place their game piece on the smallest number of their hundreds chart (ie. Number 1). They will take turns rolling the number cube and moving their game piece based on the number rolled. For example, if the student rolls a 2 then they will advance 2 spaces on the hundreds chart. The students will take turns rolling the number cube and advancing their game piece. The first player to land on 100 is the winner of the game.Click on the pictures for a FREE 100's and 120's chart.

Phonic Talk :: Phonics Steps in Sequential Order

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Because successful phonics instruction must be systematic and sequential, we divide the process into 8 detailed steps, encompassing all 44 sounds found in the English language.

Phonics Intervention Bundle for Kindergarten 

# data[].attributes.subject
Phonics Intervention Bundle for Kindergarten 

# data[].attributes.body
This includes information about the use of these resources. The next post below is the bundle already downloaded.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Four years ago when I took a leap of faith into an intervention position, I realized how few resources there were out there for reading and phonics intervention groups. I read SO many books about developmentally appropriate phonics and how to go through the proper foundational steps in order for students to master phonics and not just memorize rules and strategies. After four years of being in the intervention classroom and/or intervention coordinator for my district, I feel that I can identify and fill phonics gaps for struggling learners. I'm by no means an expert and have lots more to learn, but I'm excited to share some of my favorite phonics resources with you. CLICK HERE TO GO AHEAD AND DOWNLOAD THE FREE SAMPLE!

So where should you start?

There is a natural order to teaching phonics that we are all probably pretty familiar with. You might have kindergarteners ready for CVCE words and second graders still working on words with blends. The range of phonics abilities in your classroom with vary quite a bit from year to year and group to group. Just remember that they can't move to the next developmental phonics stage until they have mastered all the prior ones. Don't skip and constantly review.

Letters

Letter Sounds

Initial Sounds

Ending Sounds

Short Vowel Sounds

CVC Words

Words with Blends

CVCE Words

CCVCE Words

Other Long Vowel Patterns

Multisyllable Word Patterns

***If your students already know how to read words with short vowels, click here to see a bundle that will be a better fit for your students!***
I've worked for months compiling the activities that I have used the past six years in my second grade and intervention classroom to share with all of you. Every time I started though, I became very overwhelmed and never finished. However, I'm happy to say that I finally did it! I am officially ready to share it all with you and even share a huge free download for you to use in your classrooms.

Here's how to get organized...

Want to purchase the plastic boxes? Click here to take a look! I don't know about you, but organizing all these of pieces is KEY in my classroom. I need to know where everything is at all times! Seriously! Don't put those cards in the wrong place! Here's another look at how I double labeled these boxes so outside and inside both match.

CVC Activities

Most of my CVC activities can also be used to introduce and practice initial sounds, medial sounds, and final sounds. Then put it all together to practice CVC. There are more CVC activities to really create a firm foundation and allow extended practice as you review these short vowel sounds as well. Take a look at the activities that are included in the bundle:

Words with Blends Activities

Gosh darn it! Who hates teaching /dr/ and /gr/ blends??? I DO! Kids have such a hard time segmenting to spell these two. Yes, students tend to be able to read and blend them fine, but segmenting is a whole different story! I've incorporated several of the same type activities to really create a sense of empowerment and confidence with our students. When students know the expectation and feel confident in the process, they will achieve greater success. Here are the activities that are included that focus on words with blends.

Long Vowel Patterns

There are only three long vowel pattern activities because very few intervention phonics groups master this skill in the younger grades. However, they are very important for second graders, so I plan on adding more to this pack very soon to focus on upper phonics.

Editable Printables

With all phonics instruction, you need printables to reinforce and provide additional independent or small group guided practice. I've included 10 different printables that you can use with ANY word list! YES! You can add whatever words you need to focus on for that particular week. Just type and print! Roll out Playdough words or add a little stamp it out fun! Type, print, and go!

Phonics Readers and Fluency Cards

Twenty different word family phonics readers and fluency strips have been added to the bundle to ensure that your students are applying those phonics skills! Make fluency and comprehension a priority while teaching phonics. Don't stress! I've made it simple. Pull activities from your kit to match the readers and the fluency strips can be used at home for additional word practice or as small group warm-ups.

There is so much more to be added to this bundle. As it grows, you will be notified of all the awesome additions and how you can use these strategies in your classroom.

Best news ever? Because I want your students to get their hands on these hands-on materials TODAY, I'm offering you a special promo price! The price will slowly increase over time as more content is added. By purchasing today, you will get all future updates for FREE!

Howdy, friends!

We've got problems. We've all got problems when it comes to teaching teen numbers. In recent years, those pesky two-digits have taken on their own identify becoming the dreaded TRICKY TEENS. It is not uncommon for students to have difficulty with the numbers 11 through 19. I mean, when you think about it, their names do not follow the traditional rule. This is where you, dear teacher, come into play. Enter stage right. Teachers must develop students' number fluency with these rule-breakers. Our students must know the number words and the corresponding numerals. Let's look at some manageable ways to taming the tricks.

Tricky Teens Don't Have To Be So

First, here are some basics that you and your students need to know:

Teen numbers are beTWEEN 10 and 20.

Numbers in the teens start with a 1.

Teen numbers have a group of 10.

Teen numbers can easily be described as "ten and some more."

1. Use decomposing statements to build the foundation that numbers in the teens start with a 1.

2. Explore the teens by using ten frame mats and counters. Students can build teen numbers using the counters. It may help you follow the pattern: 10 and __ more is __.

3. Use number lines or number strips for supporting and sequencing. You have individual cards with the numbers written and create an interactive number line. You can mix up the numbers and put them in numerical order, you can highlight a special number and have the students build that number with a math manipulative.

4. Use number cards to help the students know that the group of 10 stays the same in the teen numbers, but the number in the ones place changes. Look at the photograph below, the number on the bottom card is "10." Students switch out the number card in the ones place (on the right) to represent a number in the teens.

This shows the students that there is always a group of ten and this is why the teen numbers always have a 1. Have the students make a model using a ten frame or place value blocks and have them use the number cards to represent that number.

5. Count one-by-one to compose a number or start with a group of ten and add "some more."

Adapted from Ten Little Indians 1868. ( Feel free to use this song in your classroom. If posting on the internet or social media please cite and include link if at all possible.)

7. Create paper chain for each teen number. Keep the number 10 consistent in color, then use a different color for the other addend. (Example: Chain 14: 10 yellow links + 4 purple links)

Hint: Keep the two colors consistent for a powerful visual for students to remember. This is also a GREAT model for composing numbers.

8. Use the video Numbers in the Teens (They Start with a 1). I have used numerous videos from Harry Kindergarten Music in my classroom. They are catching, cute, and pretty fun too! (I may make up a few moves for me and kiddos to perform when we use his songs!) Videos are great for students who are visually and auditory dominate!

9. Use the video Numbers in the Teens (Have a Group of 10). There is a lot of repetition in these songs. For us, it may be a little much...but for our students, especially students who are struggling and English language learners this is just what they need to grasp the math language.

10. Reinforce the teen numbers giving your students practical real world experience. Are your
math toolkits or dry erase boards numbered? Does each student have a number that they use for identification? How many students are in the classroom? Have the students use one-to-one correspondence to pass out papers, count the boards, take lunch count or attendance, pass out napkins for snack, etc.

Chances are, these numbers will represent the teen numbers. If they don't, you are very very lucky to have a small class.

I hope this post inspires you to tackle those tricky teen numbers so you can use another adjective to describe them next year!

What are some of your favorite ways to tackle the tricky teen numbers in your classroom? What ways are you most excited to teach now?
