Unit 2: Numbers to 100

Here are some activities for you to do at home!

1. Help your child count forward and backwards by 2s, 5s, and 10s.

2. Place 6 pennies in a row. Ask your child: "How many pennies are there?" Add a dime to the row and ask: "How much money is there altogether?" Continue using dimes to count until you reach 96 cents.

3. Line up 10 things in a row, such as spoons, forks, cups or plates. Ask your child: "What is third? Fifth? Ninth?"

4. Gather a collection of about 40 small objects for your child to count, such as toys or pennies. Ask your child to count the collection by grouping the objects in different ways.

5. Select a number between 50 and 100. Ask your child to draw a picture for the number, then show you how many groups of 10, and how many 1s.

6. Show a page number between 50 and 100 from a book. Ask: "What is the next page number? What was the number on the page that came before? How do you know?"
