This month’s book entitled, One Hundred Hungry Ants, by Elinor J. Pinczes is about 100 ants who travel in a single file to a picnic. They soon realize though that it is taking too long to get there. Read to find out how they rearrange themselves into various groups to help shorten their trip. See if you can come up with other ways to make 100 and share them with me. I’d love to hear your thoughts about the book too!
What is one way that YOU can make 100?

Sorting is an important skill learned in kindergarten. See if you can sort 15 dimes into 4 groups so that each group has a different amount of dimes. How many different ways can you sort them? Can you do it with 18 dimes? 25 dimes?
There is a fun book entitled, You Can’t Buy a Dinosaur with a Dime by Harriet Ziefert. Let’s say that you actually did buy a dinosaur for 50 cents and you paid with $1, how many ways could you receive your change if at least 1 coin had to be a dime?
If you dropped one dime a day into your piggy bank, how much would you have saved after 1 week? 1 month? 1 year?
