I am sharing a super fun and easy way to support children\u2019s early maths skills. This 100 fingers resource can be used for all sorts of activities like times tables games that really help children grasp and practice mathematical concepts in a fun and meaningful way.<\/p>\n

So get those fingers wiggling and join me learning to count to 100 in 1\u2019s, 5\u2019s and 10\u2019s!<\/p>\n

This post is part of \u00a0the 100th Day Blog Hop hosted by the wonderful This Reading Mama<\/a> and No Doubt Learning. I\u2019m joining over 20 other bloggers around the world from the Kid Blogger Network to bring you a variety of crafts, activities and resources to celebrate the number 100 and the 100th day of school! (Although of course these are great resources for any day of the year!)<\/p>\n

\"HANDPRINT<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all seen children using their fingers to help them count, add, subtract and multiply but of course beyond 10 it can get a bit tricky can\u2019t it? \u00a0This is why I love this times tables resource so much; it gives the children all the fingers they need to extend their maths right up to 100 without getting in a muddle!<\/p>\n

\"Count<\/p>\n

To make this times tables resource I simply photocopied the children\u2019s hands. They thought this was great fun and we had to do it a few times because they loved it so much!<\/p>\n

\"Count<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s little Crumb with his first one. He loved it!<\/p>\n

I found that getting the children to put their wrists close together helped give enough space to spread their fingers out. Once I\u2019d got a good photocopy of a pair of hands I then re-copied that one until I had 10 pairs or 100 fingers in all. I decided to do 5 of each of my two boy\u2019s hands, one child\u2019s on white paper and one on yellow, but any colours would do.<\/p>\n

\"Count<\/p>\n

Then I printed out the numbers 10, 20, 30 etc to one hundred, cut them in to rounds and stuck them in the middle of each hand. I then laminated the hands to make them stronger and more durable. Laminating this times tables resource also means that we can write on them with felt marker or dry wipe pens and erase it easily too, so they can be used again and again, which is great!<\/p>\n

Lots Of Different Ways To Use \u2018100 Fingers\u2019 Homemade Math Resource!<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are so many ways you can use your times table resource and not just for learning times tables either! I am a great believer in learning through play and think this can easily apply to maths learning too. Here\u2019s a few of the counting games and times table games that we\u2019ve enjoyed with this simple resource.\"Handprint<\/a><\/p>\n
