What kids do

“Count from 61 to 120. Write the missing numbers. What comes after 100?”

Printed on the sheet:

  1. After 100 comes 101, 102, 103… Count just like 1, 2, 3, with a 1 in front!

Teacher tip

The jump past 100 is the tricky part. Ask kids to say 99, 100, 101 out loud before they write.

How to use it

  • Ask kids to touch each item as they count, and to cross it off if they lose track.
  • Do one row together with a ten frame on the board so kids see the five and the ten.
  • Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.

Watch for

Kids who say the numbers faster than they touch the objects. Slow the pointing down.

Talk about it

  • How did you keep track of what you already counted?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Go on a counting walk around the school and record what you find on a tally chart.
