One Hundred Hungry Ants!
What am I learning?
Numbers can be rearranged to make adding easier to solve
How can I make sure I am successful?
Rearrange numbers
Put numbers back together
Add numbers together to solve equations
Use an array to make a group of numbers that can be multiplied
Activity description/steps:
The diagram above is an example of a few arrays. It has an equal amount in each row or column
Find 100 objects.
They could be 100 pieces of cut up paper or they could be 100 pieces of rice
Listen and follow along carefully to the mathematical story by Elinor J. Pinczes
From the story use your objects to represent 100 ants
The first array is 1 row of 100
The 2nd array is 2 rows of 50 and so on
Record in your book what each new array looks like in a number statement. For example:
100 = 1 x 100
100 = 2 x 50 or 100 = 50 + 50 etc
Take a photo of each new array
After reading, look at all the marching arrays that you have used.
Are there any other ways they could have marched in an array? How? Take a picture of your new array
