Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students if they know how to count to 100. Ask them what happens after the number 9, 19, 29 and so on. Explain that today they will learn to count to 100 with a fun song and silly exercises!
  • Video Time! (5 mins)
    Play the 'Count to 100 Silly Song' video by Jack Hartmann (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QIwkSVOflU). Encourage students to sing along and do the exercises in the video. After the video, ask students what their favorite exercise was and which numbers they were doing it for.
  • Counting Practice (10 mins)
    After the video, lead the class in counting to 100 together, emphasizing each number. Break the students up into smaller groups. Have them count to 100, in rounds, with different voices (e.g., mouse voice, robot voice, monster voice).
  • Number Writing (10 mins)
    Have students write the numbers 1-100 on a piece of paper, focusing on neatness and correct number formation. As an alternative, provide a worksheet with numbers 1-100 partially filled in, and have the students fill in the missing numbers.
  • Game Time: 'What Comes Next?' (5 mins)
    Call out a number between 1 and 99, and have students shout out the number that comes next. Increase the challenge by calling out a number and asking what comes two numbers after, and so on.

Educational Standards

CCSS.Math.Content.1.NBT.A.1:Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral. CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.5:Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2). CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.6:Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
