Numbers are everywhere!

Where can you find numbers? Think of a number you often find. Or, think of a special number that brings good memories (for example, points for a treasure in a game or 40 km speed zone near a school).

Activity 1 - Number hunt

Go for a number hunt in your learning space.

Look for: three items with numbers on them (the numbers should be between 1 and 200).

Activity 2 - Where do your numbers fit?

Now let's share the numbers you found!

What tools can we use to share the numbers?

• Your hands
• Ten-frames
• Number lines
• Hundreds chart (101-200)

Please choose a tool (manipulative) to place your number. You can choose more than one tool for different numbers.

• Ten-frames

Let's explore a ten frame together!

• Number line 0-100

• Hundreds chart 101-200

Questions to answer:

• Why did you choose this tool?
• Can your numbers fit in every tool?
• Can you put all your numbers in one tool?
• Can you think of any other ways to show your numbers?

Brainstorm

Activity 3 - Take it apart!

Let's practice breaking big numbers into small parts.

Select one of the numbers you found that is between 1 and 200. Break this number into smaller parts. How many ways can you create number sentences? Explain how your different sentences help you understand the number better.

For example, if you chose the number 38.

• You can break it up as 30 + 8. This shows us that the number 38 is bigger than the number 30.
• You can break it down even further: 10 + 10 + 10 + 8. This shows us that we will need 4 ten frames.
