101 Ways to Have Fun with Math

Cruella deVille wasn't cruel after all.  She stopped and posed for a picture with this lively pack of Dalmatians.


Yes, we admit it.  The 101st Day of School Party was actually a secret plot designed by the teachers to make the students learn math (and to motivate them to keep on working hard for the rest of the school year.) The kids thought they were having fun, but actually they were counting and writing to 100 (and 1) by ones, fives, and tens.  They were subtly tricked into practicing addition, subtraction, and place value. Without knowing it, they were learning concepts such as "before and after," "one more" and "one less," and "one dollar and one cent."   Hey, a teacher's gotta do whatever it takes.
Coach Bonaventure had the dogs dancing in the hallway for PE.
Even though it was a fun day, we didn't take a break from rehearsing for our Sweetheart program. 


Our spotted friends can sing.
50 spots on one ear plus 51 spots on the other ear equals 101 spots.



We loved showing our collections of 101 Lego toys,...



101 Candies,...

101 marbles,...
101 acorns,....


and 101 more Legos.

If you have 101 suckers, and you share 15 with your friends, you'll have 86 left.





We are 101 times smarter than we were when we started kindergarten.
