This 100th Day of School Party Worksheet is a great way to teach your kids about the author and illustrator of a book to celebrate the 100th day of school.
One hundred days smarter!
The 100th Day of School is a celebration of how far everyone has come, and it's packed with number sense. Younger kids count to 100 by ones, fives and tens, and group 100 small objects into ten piles of ten: 10 × 10 = 100. Older kids estimate, write about what they'd do with $100, or imagine themselves at 100 years old. Everyone gets a feel for how big 100 really is. The click is seeing 100 cereal pieces in ten neat rows and realizing how much it adds up.
Party first, learning hidden inside. Here's how we make the day count.
Each child brings 100 small things from home, like buttons or pasta. In class, they sort them into ten groups of ten on a mat. Ask "How do you know it's 100?" Grouping by tens is the big math idea of the day.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Why it works: shuffled practice teaches kids to choose the right strategy, not just repeat one, and it improved test scores in research (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

Why it works: the brain holds on to what it meets again and again over time; spaced practice was rated among the very best methods (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
It depends on your school's start date. For most U.S. schools, it falls in late January or February. Count school days only, not weekends or holidays.
A collection of 100 small items glued in ten groups of ten is a classic. Kids can also decorate a shirt with 100 things or write 100 words they know.
It celebrates the learning so far and gives kids a fun, real way to understand the number 100, counting, and place value.
Write about what they'd buy with $100, research what life was like 100 years ago, or estimate how long it takes to do 100 of something.
