Race to 100

In grade 3, students work with numbers up to 1000.  That means we are working a lot with 3-digit numbers.  To re-familiarize students with place value and base ten blocks, we played a game called Race to 100.  What are "Base Ten Blocks"?  They are manipulatives that represent the ones, tens, hundreds and thousands.  These hands-on objects are an excellent way to help students understand place value and the concept of regrouping.
