This “upside down” hundred board is just what students need to develop number sense and see how our number system works with our algorithms! I developed this board to help students connect what they hear with what they see.
This board starts with 1 in the lower left corner. It allows students to move up the board as they count higher or add. They subtract and move down the board, more in line with algorithmic directions.
My "different" Hundred Board, directions for use, and sample activities with answers are included.
I really like the reverse hundred's chart. I am use to seeing the usual chart. I guess it all just goes back to the different learning styles. Great Job!
Love the idea behind this, adding up on the board instead of down. Makes sense to start in the lower left hand corner. Will be very useful in the classroom.
I have taught for 19 years, fifth and sixth grade, both self-contained and math/science. I have mentored new teachers for several year - so much fun and so rewarding!
