Introduction
(5 minutes)- Project the Counting to 120 worksheet on a document camera.
- Point to the blank spaces at the bottom of the worksheet. Say, "We need to write more numbers here. Does anyone know what number is one more than 100?"
- Choose students to share the number sequence. Restate, "One hundred one, 102, 103" as you fill in the blank spaces on the chart to 120. Clearly enunciate the number names (do not say one hundred and one).
- Once you complete the chart, count chorally as a class from 100-120 as you point to the numbers.
