Hundred Board Extensions

Posted by: "Ron and Linda Cameron


- Every fifth number
-I have blank printouts of the hundred board, write in several numbers randomly, have your child fill in the number that comes before and after the numbers
- give your child the blank page and 10 numbers such as 56, 3, 64, etc, have him color in those squares (no pattern, just random, or you can make a simple pattern, such as the first letter in his name)
- Also-make a design on a blank squared page, like a cross stitch design. Give your child a blank page plus a code, such as 56+4=, where he colours in the answer. At the end he will get the design you made. You can give him your design as the control when he is done. I've done circles, letters, easy figures, numbers, etc. Use take-aways too: 78-3. After the child build the hundred board he can easily count forwards or backwards. Challenge him later by giving longer sums: 46+9-3+17=
