Christmas Math

Each child glued ten items to a triangle.  We assembled the triangles into a tree shape, creating a set of 100 objects!  The concept of learning to "count on" is a bit abstract; the children want to count each group as a set of ten (10+10+10...etc.), but this activity helped us to count and add, repeat, as we skip-counted to 100.
