Break a hundred.....

This is a subtraction game that teaches us about regrouping in subtraction. We had a lot of fun playing and learning at the same time.  Ask us to explain the game.

 Subtraction and regrouping with zeros

Number and Operations in Base Ten 2.NBT
B. Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract. 7. Add and subtract within 1,000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.

I'll leave you with this joke:
Q: What do mathematicians eat on Halloween?
A: Pumpkin Pi.

Fall Field Experience

We had a great time exploring the forest, fields, and wetlands right in our own backyard.
Take a peek at us being nature explorers!

Regrouping fun!

We had fun playing the Make a Hundred game! It helped us to better understand regrouping when adding! Watch us in action!

Standards:
Number and Operations in Base Ten 2.NBT
A. Understand place value.
1. Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones; e.g., 706 equals 7 hundreds, 0 tens, and 6 ones. Understand the following as special cases:
a. 100 can be thought of as a bundle of ten tens—called a "hundred."

B. Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract. 7. Add and subtract within 1,000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.
