Wanted! Representing numbers to 100
I worked with a team of first-grade teachers to create an assessment that would let students show what they know about numbers to 100. We brainstormed all the different ways numbers can be represented and came up with a Wanted poster theme—it’s a fun and creative way for students to show off their understanding while representing numbers to 100.
A couple of notes:
- While this file is 8 1/2 x 11, we printed them on 11 x 17 paper. It gave the kids more room for their work and looked better when we put them up. Look for the 11 x 17 or Ledger setting in your print properties and stretch it to fit. You can also find instructions online.
- The children self-selected their numbers. This provided built-in differentiation.
- We put a little paper flap over the My Number Is… at the top of the poster when we displayed them, making the display interactive.

My pleasure, Su Anna!
Your Ideas are inspiring. I have just added the number of the day to my classroom and love this twist on it! Thanks
Thanks! A number of the day routine is so important. 🙂
This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!
You’re welcome, Kory! 🙂
Thank you, thank you for everything you share with us! I love Math Coach’s Corner!!!
Thank you so much. I always have extra days after all my students have been “superstar” of the week. So this will be a great idea for each student to fill this out and share his/her mystery number! Love it! 🙂
Can you tweet it for 2nd? I would love it
I’ll put it on my to-do list, but I can’t guarantee it any time soon. Also, our 2nd graders go up to 1,000. That might be pretty hard to do in this same way.
We use the DMA (Developmental Math Assessment) for K-2. It does a great job assessing. Check it out at http://www.developmentalmathgroup.com.
Thank you your blog! I love following it.
