Make 100 and Make 1000 Activities and Printables

Make 100 and Make 1000 resources that help students use number lines, base-10 blocks, and learn how to “jump” to the nearest friendly number. The resources in this product are designed to help students Make 100 and Make 1000.

First-grade teachers spend a lot of time helping students “make 10,” but I find that I don’t spend as much time “making 100” or “making 1000” before asking students to add and subtract two-digit or three-digit numbers. I use the Make 100 resources toward the beginning of the year before we begin two-digit addition and subtraction, and the Make 1000 resources before we start three-three-digit addition and subtraction.

NOTE: This includes a fully editable Powerpoint so you can change out the numbers and create even more activities for your students.

The strategies in this resource compliment the strategies used in my other two-digit and three-digit resources:

➟ Use a Number Line

➟ Use Base-10 Blocks

➟ Break Apart (Ungroup) one addend

In addition to the above strategies are fun activities, such as mazes, number searches, coloring, and matching cards.

This Make 100 and Make 1000 product compliments my Roll and Spin Math Activities for Two-Digit Addition. Both focus on developing how students use a number line and place value strategies.
