Lesson 14 Multiples of 100
Let’s explore multiples of 100 and how other numbers relate to them.
Warm-up Estimation Exploration: Marching Band
How many people are in the marching band?
Record an estimate that is:
too low | about right | too high |
|---|---|---|
Activity 1 About 100? Close to 100?
Here are the numbers of people in different parts of a school at noon during a school day.
playground: 94
cafeteria: 163
art room: 36
library: 13
classrooms: 216
gymnasium: 109
music room: 52
Where in the school would you say that there are about 100 people?
Record the numbers in the table. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
about 100
not about 100
Now decide if the number of people in each part of the school is close to 0, close to 100, or close to 200.
If you don’t think a number belongs in any column, set it aside. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
close to 0
close to 100
close to 200
