Hundreds Chart Activities (Number strand)
The purpose of the hundreds chart is to strengthen the
understanding of standard and non-standard partitioning of two-digit
numbers. For example, 36 can be seen as 3
tens + 6 (standard partitioning), and 2 tens + 16 (non-standard
partitioning. These partitionings can be useful
when adding and subtracting two-digit numbers.

Ten-frames (Number strand)
The ten-frame assists students to form a clear understanding
of the base ten structure of numbers. When
ten-frames are used in conjunction with counters, students can model combining and
partitioning in a structured way. For example, 3 counters and 4 counters
can be combined to show a total of 7 counters. Just as ten is essential
to our understanding of operations on numbers, five often acts as a base for
mental calculation. This is due to students' early use of finger
strategies with arithmetic.
