| Students are playing a game called "Spend $1.00." They are using coin mats to make trades and the 100 chart to help them subtract easily. |
 |
| A student is recording subtraction equations as the dice are rolled to determine how many coins to subtract from $1.00. |
 |
| "Math makes me smile!" |
 |
| A student proudly shows her work! |
 |
| This game is called "Roll a Square." Students are asked to do mental calculations at the end of each turn. This game helps them to visualize numbers in tens/ones to help them internalize place value concepts. |
 |
| Soon students are able to say, "42 cubes are left!" just by glancing at the rows of cubes covering the 100 grid instead of needing to count each row separately to arrive at the total # of cubes. |

| Math is always fun! |
