100 Days of School Activity

Student's Name: Ally Felan

Date: 7 October 2015
Grade: Kindergarten
Title of Activity: 100 Days of School
Objective: The students will be able to count to 100 using grouping techniques.
TEKS:
111.12.b) Knowledge and skills.
(1) Number, operation, and quantitative reasoning. The student uses numbers to name quantities.
The student is expected to:
(B) use sets of concrete objects to represent quantities given in verbal or written form (through
20); and
(C) use numbers to describe how many objects are in a set (through 20) using verbal and
symbolic descriptions.
(5) Patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking. The student identifies, extends, and creates
patterns. The student is expected to identify, extend, and create patterns of sounds, physical
movement, and concrete objects.
(6) Patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking. The student uses patterns to make predictions.
The student is expected to:
(B) count by ones to 100.
(7) Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student describes the relative positions of objects. The
student is expected to:
(B) place an object in a specified position.
Resources/Materials:
-Students 100 items that they decide to bring
-Colorful yarn/string (pre-cut for groups of 10)
-Scissors
-100 counting chart
-Colored pencils/crayons
-Glue
Procedure: Each student will present their 100 items that they brought. Then, I will divide the class
into groups (depending on how big the class is). Students will have a 1-100 counting sheet placed
on their desk and they will have their crayons/colored pencils. They will then color groups of 5 in
different colors and then wrap the yarn/string around groups of 10. Try to have students create a
pattern with their colors, either being A-B-C or 1-2-1-2. Then, have the students glue their yarn
down to their groups of 10 and display around the room. To finish out the activity, you can have the
student write in their journals what 100 items they brought to class.

Questions to Provoke Critical Thinking:

What different ways can you count to 100?
Do you notice any patterns? (This lesson will be after patterns have been discussed)
Assessment Strategies:
Each student will have created their own 100s chart, with groups of 2s, 5s, and 10s to demonstrate
their understanding.
