Class LH reach a century... and more!!

The "Hitcham's Hundred" challenge for Class LH was to see if we could find 100 different ways to make 100.  We used a range of strategies and resources to generate a variety of numbers, such as the hundred square, raffle tickets, number cards, number bonds and number families.  We used addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.  

We had a few games to play such as "Snail 100", "Guess my number", "Guess my partner number to 100" and "Missing numbers".  Some of the children created their own 'Snakes and Ladders' using the 100 square. 

Well done to Harry who completed the "Make a 100" maze challenge using dice and 1 digit numbers and also to Matilda and India for persevering and trying different routes.

The children actually came up with just over 300 ideas to make 100 and although there were one or two repetitions,  they were amazed with just how many they came up with.  Well done Class LH on great determination and perseverance.  You did it!!
