Number Writing
Number Writing
• At this station, students are working on number writing
• We begin the year with 0-5 and gradually work our way
up to 100
• In May, we play a writing to 100 game
– There are two dice and one pencil
– Each student has a 100 grid paper
– When a student rolls doubles they get the pencil and
start writing to 100
– The other students continue to roll the dice until
someone else rolls doubles. Then they get the pencil
