Hard At Work

I put the students in pairs and gave each pair a bag of number tiles.  The tiles were numbered from 1-100.  Their task was to put the numbers in order and it was up to each group to decide how to do that.  As you can see from the pictures below, some partners put their numbers into a hundreds chart while others created one long line of numbers.  One group even had a bend in their line!  It was fascinating listening to the conversations that arose during this activity as well as the different strategies that different pairs used to find the numbers they needed.  The students loved this activity so much, they volunteered to give up their free time so they could complete the task!  I love when that happens!!
