Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will have an improved understanding of the numeral 1000 through fun art and math activities.

Materials and Prep

Materials needed: paper, crayons or markers

Prior knowledge: basic counting skills up to 100

Activities

1. Draw 1000 dots: Let's draw 1000 dots on a piece of paper. Count as you draw them to see how big the number 1000 is!

2. Color by hundreds: Divide the paper into 10 sections and color each section with a different color. Each section will represent 100, so by the end, you'll have 1000 dots in different colors!

3. Connect the dots: Connect the dots in groups of 100 to see how they form the number 1000. You can even make a fun design with the connected dots!
