Roll to 100!
Article from Inspired Elementary
There are so many fun games that can
be played with a 100 Chart! One of my
favorites is Roll to 100. This is a game
that I created as a low-prep, fun, place
value center for my second
graders. and they loved it! I have also
used this game with first graders to
practice identifying odd and even
numbers, and for teaching my own four
year old number recognition to 100
Here are the details for the three
different ways I have used this game
starting with number recognition. When
using Roll to 100 for number recognition
no recording sheet is needed. So, it can
be played in the preschool years since
writing skills aren't necessary. Here's
how we played: The hundreds chart is
used like a game board and the dice are
used to move spaces on the chart So if
player one rolls an eight (i.e. a five and a
three), they get to move eight spaces on
the hundred chart. Whichever number
they land on, they color or X the number
(this is great for counting on skills). As
the player is coloring the number, they
have to say the number aloud correctly
If they say the number correctly, they
move on and it's the next player's turn If
they say the number incorrectly, they
lose their next turn, giving their
opponent two turns in a row. The first
player to get to 100 wins! Another way
to play is using Roll to 100 to practice
odd and even numbers For this version
a recording sheet is needed. Students
take turns rolling the dice, moving that
number of spaces on the board (i.e. a
roll of a six and a six would mean they
move 12 spaces), and coloring in or
boxing the number on which they land
They then record that number on the
recording sheet and write down if it is
odd or even. The other player checks
their answer, and if it's correct, they
continue on. If it is incorrect, that player
forfeits their next turn. They play unti
one partner gets to 100 and wins. Last,
but definitely not least, is using Roll to
100 to reinforce place value skills. For
this version, students get a recording
sheet and take turns rolling and colorin
(or dotting) numbers like above
However, when they record the number
on which they land, they have to
represent that number in some other
form. It can be by writing out tens/ones
writing the number in word form writing
it in expanded form, drawing base ten
blocks, using ten frames, etc... Players
check each other's work on each turn
The first player to 100 wins!
