For instructional day 100, we will have:

a) 1 with 100 zero’s = google.

b) A triangular number, 10, can be squared, 100. This is related to cubes. 1 cubed + 2 cubed + 3 cubed + 4 cubed = 100

c) Use digits 1-9 t0 get 100, examples: 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+ (8x9) = 100 or 123 – 45 – 67 + 89 = 100.

d) There are 100 tiles in a standard Scrabble set.

e) There are 100 squares on a Snakes and Ladders board.

f) In a University study, it was discovered that Ballet shoes had 100 times the number of fungal spores that Running shoes have in them.

Just to name a few.
