The Foundation of VariQuest Learning Modules VariQuest supports educators by providing countless opportunities to introduce a variety of visuals and hands-on manipulatives into their classrooms. The use of visuals in the classroom helps students understand and retain information, specifically abstract concepts. Visuals can also help bridge the gap for students who struggle with vocabulary and/or language barriers. Hands-on manipulatives create learning experiences in which students interact with knowledge kinesthetically. Research shows that exposing students to a variety of learning experiences, including visual and kinesthetic, will increase student retention and help students learn to construct meaningful knowledge from information. The VariQuest Visual Learning Tools enhance classroom teachers ability to provide learning experiences that meet the learning styles of all students. The aim of the following Learning Activities is to coordinate the VariQuest Visual Learning Tools with lessons and activities that incorporate visual and hands-on learning strategies to reinforce basic skills and provide fun and motivational activities that will supplement your school s curriculum. For best practices and additional information on how to customize VariQuest posters, banners, flashcards, awards, cutouts and manipulatives, review the VariQuest Implementation Guide prior to use. For the following learning activities, use construction paper for all cutouts unless otherwise specified. Pre-laminating construction paper using a cold laminator adds durability to cut out letters, shapes, numbers and collections. 4

Number Sense 1 Overview One of the main challenges for children in the primary grades is to develop an understanding of numbers 1-100. The key concepts covered in these activities include: counting, comparing quantities, number names, recognizing patterns, addition and subtraction. The activities in this VariQuest Learning Module are designed to meet educational standards in innovative and creative ways and to enhance your curriculum program. Before turning to the learning activities, familiarize yourself with general information that will guarantee ease of use and flexibility. Assessment Following the learning activities, you will find a rubric that can be used to guide you in making observational assessments of students abilities related to the objectives outlined in the learning activities. It is recommended that you make a copy for each student to guide your ongoing informal assessments, making anecdotal notes on the back when appropriate. VariQuest Content You will find a complete list of all of the content included in this module between the Rubric and Work Order template. The content ID #s (ex. VIS001) for content referenced in the learning activities are listed in the materials section for each activity and are color-coded to help distinguish between templates for the Poster Maker (red) and Awards Maker (purple) and cutouts and collections for the Cutout Maker (gold). Work Orders You will also find a work order template on the last page of the Activity Guide. This template can be photocopied and used for placing orders for customized VariQuest posters, banners, stickers, awards, cutouts and collections. It is designed to be submitted to the primary user of the VariQuest Visual Learning Tools by those who may not have direct access to them. 5

Cut out five cards for each child. Give them to each child along with an envelope or shoebox. Tip: cut out cards custom-sized to largest possible on page to ensure there is plenty of room for students writing. Continue to cut out at least five 100 Cards per child each week so they can continue adding to their list of 100 accomplishments. 6

Preparing for 100th Day Whole Class On the first full day of school, begin to prepare children for a celebration marking the 100th day of school. Prepare a 100-Day Bulletin Board, incorporating the Bulletin Board collection, borders, and corners. Tell children that on this first day of school they will begin to keep track of all of the new and exciting things they will learn in the first 100 days of school. Towards the end of the day, have the children brainstorm something the class learned on the first day of school. Call on a couple of volunteers to share something they learned that day. Center Activity Tell children that they will be keeping track of 100 things they know and/ or learned in school. Give each child five 100 Cards. On the first card, have them write the number one and then draw, write, or dictate to you something they know. For example: I can count to 10. I can say my ABCs. I know my phone number. Repeat for cards 2-5. Modification Prepare five 100 Cards for each child. Lightly, in pencil, write the numbers 1-5 at the top of each of the five cards. Have children trace the numerals and write or draw or dictate to you at least one thing they know. Then have them put their cards in order from one to five. Extension Invite children to begin their 100 cards by completing five cards. Encourage them to fill in a few cards each day and to see if they can complete more than 100 cards by the 100th day of school. Give children large envelopes or shoeboxes to store their cards in. Let them decorate envelopes/shoeboxes with art materials. To help students review new skills, make blank 100 Cards available and encourage them to add a new card when they ve mastered a new skill or fact. Before numbering the new card, have them put their completed cards in order to determine the number on the new card. Throughout the first 100 days of school, remind students to continue keeping track of the new things they have learned. Challenge students to complete 100 cards before reaching the 100th day of school. 7
