cent c'est beaucoup trop

Following the reading of a book I made students created their own book pages about when 1-00 is too much, and when 100 is not enough. The book topic was sent home over the weekend so that students could discuss and come up with ideas at home.  Download the document here --> Cent - livre et page pour les élèves. I wish I would have photographed my students' work for this post!

This book compares when 100 might not be enough and when 100 is way too much.  After much brainstorming students create their own page for a collaborative book by completing the sentence,

"100 ____ is not enough (ne sont pas beaucoup), but 100  ____ is way too much (sont beaucoup trop).

It was helpful to start by listing all kinds of little things that when gathered together still do not add up to very much at all.

A few pages from the book I made. It is in the downloaded documents above.

For no reason at all except that they are fun and goofy here are 100th day masks.

100ième jour - petit livre

100 mini-book (printable)

A collection of fruit loops, stickers, jewels, lentils, and punched out shapes were used for a counting and grouping by 10s task.  Students went around to different tables picking out 10 of each item to include in their 100 book.

Some problem solving was required when students were asked to put 10 fingers on the page, not 10 hands. 

The books are sent home in kindergarten student's bag of back-and-forth mini books to read and review. They are also read with learning buddies (grades 2 or 3).
