Over the past several weeks we have been working on developing our number sense by working with numbers up to 1000. When we first began we read the book "How Much, How Many, How Far, How Heavy, How Long, How Tall is 1000?" as an introduction to the concept of 1000. Last week we reread the book to refresh our memories before creating a representation of what 1000 actually is.
Here is the book.
We began by creating groups of ten. Students received strips of paper to glue 10 toothpicks onto. Students continued to do this until all of our strips (100) were complete.
Counting to make sure we had made enough.
We then counted by 10s all the way to 1000. Each student put each "ten" in a line (or group) until we reached 100. At that point we started a new line/group.
Students placing their "tens" in groups of 100.
When we were all finished we could see exactly what 1000 looked like.
