• Count by 1’s to 120 one time (the video below is a workout and a counting video!). Then start at 100 and count to 120 three times. Talk about how columns are like big poles that stand up and down and they can help support a building. When we write in columns we start at the top and write downwards.

• On page 159 in the Student Activity Math Book, write the numbers 1-120 in columns. The number 3 goes UNDER the number 2.

• When finished, Look at the bottom row (Left to right) and notice how the numbers start at 10 and go up by 10! 10, 20, 30, 40…..120. When you write the numbers in columns, the numbers to the left are 10 less and the numbers to the right are 10 more. In order to answer 2-9 you have to think about the grid and which way is less and which way is more.
