So today, I tried to get creative with my math lesson.  We have been studying adding two-digit numbers - adding the tens and then the ones and today's lesson wanted them to practice using the Hundreds Chart.  I decided to put it all together and use greater than and less than, too.  Why not, right?  To sweeten the deal we used candy corn as the greater than/less than sign - it is almost Halloween, so why not?!
It worked out really well.  I printed the number cards you see below from my TPT Store (they are free right now) and used only the numbers 9-99.  I printed a few different colored sets on cardstock so they were ready to go.  I know I will use them for many activities this year.
I also have Hundreds Charts ready to go as we use them often.
So, to get ready you can print the Number Cards and the Hundreds Chart.  Print on colored cardstock or print and laminate.  Did I mention that both products are free??  I love free!
I think the lesson was effective.  I could hear them talking about adding the numbers and checking their answers.  A few teams decided that one partner would use the white board to add the numbers and the other partner would add them using the Hundreds Chart.
In the bottom photo you can see how we reviewed and practiced adding the numbers on the chart all together.
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!  I would love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Ann
