We enjoyed getting out in the good weather to revise our knowledge of 3-digit numbers, by using natural resources to represent numbers. Our leaves represented the hundreds, sticks for tens and stones for our units. We then played a game to revise using numerals to represent 3-digit numbers.
We investigated the question 'how big is 1,000?'. The children were given the challenge of collecting 1,000 sticks. They decided to make these into bundles of 10 to make it easier to count. Then we laid them out on our hundred square so we could see once we had reached 1,000. We realised that there are 100 tens in 1,000. We also realised that this meant there are 10 hundreds in 1,000. We represented this by using the multiplication number sentences: 10 x 100 = 1,000 and 100 x 10 = 1,000.
Unfortunately not the ones with chocolate chips.
