Dive into Math 3:	 Reading Numerals from 100-500		 	



The student will be able to:

- to read numerals from 100-500.


Activity one: Distribute laminated mats labelled with H T O (hundreds, tens,ones) and 
numeral cut-outs or plastic numerals if available.  Have children place one numeral 
under each heading and practice reading these numerals.

Activity two:  Teacher can demonstrate the use of a numeral holder and later the whole 
class can use these.  To make cut two pieces of bristol board with one piece half as 
big.  Staple the short piece along the bottom and sides of to the bigger one to make 
a picket chart.  Label H T O then staple between letters to make three separeate 
compartments to hold numeral cards, which should be laminated for durability.  Teacher 
will put set of numerals 0 to 9 in each compartment (don't put zero in h).  Children 
will read the numeral the teacher holds up.  Teacher can switch one numeral to change.  
For example 286 can become 386 by changing the hundreds place numeral.  Great for 
drill 0 tens (208 305 etc).

Activity 3: Call out!
Worksheet such as circle the numeral your teacher calls out
203              302                 230                320

Activity 4: Yes No
Students make yes no signs using popsicle sticks or tongue depressors.  Teacher holds 
up a numeral and says " This is the numeral..." Students hold up appropriate stick.

Activity 5: Teams of 3 or 4.
Teacher flashes a numeral card (100-500).
If child identifies, that team gets a point.  If unsuccessful it is passed to the 
next team as a bonus.

Assessment: Make anecdotal observations of children's performance during all activities.
