When they get to 100, they can play again.	Base 10

Math Journal	November 1, 2008	Many classrooms do various Number of the Day for number work activities. This packet includes many different templates for # of the Day from the kindergarten level through the 5th grade. The most recent templates focus on number sentences, making money, and counting on from # of the day. I tend to focus on lower numbers while encouraging more complex number operations. Its better to have a three part number operation for 20, than 99+1 for 100.	Number Facts
