The magic number is 100. A collection of fun activities, this guide provides educators with ideas for young mathematicians to practice counting to 100.

What a fun way to practice counting for youngsters! Especially effective for kinesthetic and visual learners, this activity has scholars stacking "books" on a "bookshelf." Templates are provided for the bookshelves and books; consider...

How many is this? Practice number value recognition between 0 and 20 using this interactive activity idea. It's all here for your easy use: cut and laminate the twenty-one individual cards, each labeled numerically 0-20. Also cut out the...

Looking for a festive way to practice doubles subtraction? This pumpkin concetration game requires minimal set-up and can be brought out anytime for fun practice. Consider laminating the printed template so they last longer. Partners...

This boating picture is missing a few things! Scholars practice common prepositions and counting as they add details to a scene. They follow specific directions by drawing two birds above the boat, three fish below it, and two ducks on...

Third graders count, multiply, and color their way to success. Not only do they practice multiplying two by various numbers, they color in a table to fully understand the two-times table, as well as counting sets of two ears on different...

How many letters? Budding counters determine and record the number of letters in five messages trailing behind planes. The write down both the numeral and the word form; the highest number here is 19. Next, pupils fill in two blank...

Locating a point on a grid is an important skill to master; use this practice sheet to give schlars some clear and useful experience. On a large, simple grid they use a coordinate system to find specific squares and color them a given...

These number sequences are quite fun to look at! Beginning counters complete six of them as they say and write in the numbers. They count only by 1s, however some of these move from greatest to least. The highest number here is 20. Once...

What comes next? Young counters follow the stone path to each house, filling in numbers in a sequence as they go. Some of these move forward and some backward, but all progress by ones. Learners start with given numbers and then follow...

How can you make the two halves symetric? Scholars use the concept of symmetry to complete five images which are only half-drawn. The fun part about this exercise is that they aren't copying geometric shapes. There is a face, sun, kite,...

How fun! Beginning counters practice with subtraction concepts as they draw apples onto trees and focus on the term fewer. The first tree pictured here has nine apples, and they count and record the number. On the next tree (which...

What's the coordinate pair? There are 16 letters located on this grid, each marked by a point. Learners record the number pair for each. All of the coordinates are whole numbers. Consider extending this in a fun way by challenging pupils...

These crocodiles are hungry for the biggest numbers they can find! This is a fun way to illustrate number comparison; use crocodile mouths as the greater than and less than symbols. There are two examples (with teeth...

Make number concepts fun with this party-themed set of activities aimed at familiarizing young counters with 11 and 12. They begin by tracing each numeral before printing it once on their own. Next, learners count a set of...

As learners become familiar with single-digit numbers, give them this fun set of activities focused on the number three. Incorporate language arts as they trace the word form and then write it once on their own. Next, counters...

Have crumpets with the queen! Kindergartners count the number of crumpets on each plate - all add up to six - and write the correct number in the space provided. They then copy a dominoes pattern for different ways to add up to six, and...

There's only one way out of this maze, and youngsters will need to use their shape recognition skills to do it! They follow a three-shape pattern all the way from start to finish to keep on track. Encourage them to say the shapes as they...

What pattern do you see? Preschoolers examine four visual patterns and complete them after observing the repeating designs. Then, they create two patterns of their own. Because these are all drawn into circles, consider extending this to...

Have fun with shapes! Third graders read a set of instructions and circle the shape in the description. They work on recognizing parallel sides and right sides. Use this resource as homework after your geometry lesson.

Party with number balloons! Young learners study four groups of illustrated balloons with numbers on them, and write the numbers in sequence from smallest to greatest, or greatest to smallest. For extra fun, have them color the balloons...

Four sequences are missing some numbers; can your scholars fill them in? These aviation-themed number sequences require skip counting and counting backward. Beside each pattern learners can reference a jumbled set of numbers inside a...

Most kids love treats, but they have a hard time sharing them! Reinforce both the value of sharing and the skill of division. Third graders divide up various snacks between kids, puppies, and bunnies. Tons of fun to solve and color, this...

Find the numbers that the sneaky snakes are hiding! Using a number table, primaries determine which numbers are covered up by snakes. They write in the numbers next to the matching snake below the table, which reinforces both...
