Materials: One-One-Hundred or more Piece Puzzle Permanent Marker 2 Large, Flat Pans or Surfaces Time: 30 minutes Goals: 1. To work individually on putting the numbers given to each child in numerical order. 2. To work as a group to put assembled rows together to form completed puzzle. Describe Lesson Steps/Leading Statements: (Also use when learning numbers to 100) 1. Teacher assembles a 100 piece puzzle (actually, most 100 piece puzzles have more than 100 pieces). 2. Using a flat pan, turn the puzzle over so that the back of the puzzle is face up. 3. Starting at the top, left corner of the puzzle, number each piece until you’ve numbered all of them. 4. Divide the rows of the puzzle by the number of children working on it. I usually do this at a math center when I can help. 5. Break up the puzzle pieces assigned to each child and put them in individual containers. The children assemble their parts of the puzzle with teacher help, if necessary. 6. When everyone is finished with his/her section, the teacher calls them back to the table and works with the students to put the rows in order. Then slide the puzzle on to one flat pan. Put the other flat pan on top of the puzzle, so you have a puzzle sandwich. Flip the pans with the puzzle inside. Remove the top pan and see the completed puzzle picture. The children have personal responsibility in completing their sections of the puzzle, and we work as a group to complete the final project. Assessment(s): Observe and record how well the children work together to help each other and to assemble the completed project.
