[quote=Anonymous]As to WHEN it started - back in the early to mid- 1980’s. I was a first grade teacher and we began celebrating Day 100 around then. It began as a way to understand place value by counting the days in school. We used visual ways of representing the days, grouping them into 10’s and 1’s. It has really become a big deal in the primary grades. The reality is, by the time place value was supposed to be introduced (later in the year), most students already had a pretty good understanding of it because of our Day 100 routines. Day 100 routines incorporate counting, skip-counting, calendar skills, place value, and a variety of other mathematical concepts. [/quote]
