News Flash

From Mrs. Routt:

NEWS FLASH….in 2nd grade math we have been working on place value (using base-10 pieces; bits, skinnies, and flats). We have worked on this since the first Monday of school.


Today, we were determining the number represented by the base-10 pieces shown…well I finally got a little boy to figure out the number. It was 106. So then I asked so “What is 100”? I said “with base-10 pieces—bits, skinnies, flats—what is 100”? He scratched his head as he always does when he is in deep thought (deep thought for him) and looked at my aide and I as serious as could be and said….”a big number”.

I couldn’t even do anymore after that. I thought I was going to die. LOL!!!!!!!



So, always remember that when asked “what is 100” that it is a “big number”.
