The Hip Hoppin’ Hundred Mat is a great hands-on math tool that will get all
your students movin’ and groovin’ with math! This mat features a multitude
of math concepts, including: addition, subtraction, number sense, number
patterns, and much more. Play activities and games with the whole class or
small groups.

Caution: Mat may become slippery when wet. Wearing shoes is recommended
to avoid slippage.

Fast and Fun Ideas
Fast Find
Say a number and see how fast students can find it on the Hundred Mat.
For an added challenge, give a clue to a secret number and see how fast
students can find that number. For example, “This number is 4 more
than 78.”
Number Patterns
Have students search for number patterns on the Hundred Mat. Lead
students to discover the patterns for addition and subtraction. For example,
have students compute 4 + 8 = ? Then, find 14 + 8, 24 + 8, 34 + 8, and so on.
Make sure that students focus on the pattern. Challenge students to
compute subtraction problems and search for patterns.
Make 100
Place a ring around any number on the Hundred Mat. Challenge students to
figure out how many more will make 100.
Groovin’ Games to Play
Rock and Roll to 100
Number of players:
Game components:
Each player (or team) chooses one color ring to serve as a marker for the
game. Each player places a ring on the number
cube and moves that many spaces on the Hundred Mat. Player 1 then needs
to announce the addition fact that was just completed. For example, if the
number was 5, the player would say, “1 plus 5 equal 6.” The next player rolls
the number cube and performs the same process as the first player. The first
player (or team) to reach 100 wins. Players (or teams) must land exactly on
100
to win.

Rock and Roll to 0
Follow the same basic game play as Rock and Roll to 100. However, to start
this game, all players place markers on the
100
square. Players take turns

rolling the number cube and subtracting each time. The first player (or team)

Spinnin’ Secret Codes
Give each student a game marker. Next, write a secret code on the board
that corresponds to directional movements on the mat.
Example: 23
Challenge students to determine what number they would reach by
following the secret code’s directional arrows. Have students answer by
placing a game marker on the number that they think will solve the code.
Work with students to verify that the code has been solved.
Change game play by placing rings around two different numbers, such as
and42. Have students draw the arrows and create the code to show how to
move from one number to the next, or vice versa.
For an additional challenge, create codes involving numerical steps such
as +2 or -3.

Picking Out Patterns
Pass out a game marker to each student. Place several game markers around
some numbers that begin a skip-counting pattern. For example, place
markers around
student place a game marker on the next number that would continue the
skip-counting pattern.
For a higher-level activity, create more challenging skip-counting patterns.
For example, start by placing a marker around the
marker on
skip-counting pattern in the middle of the mat. For example, start on the
number
to place game markers to continue the pattern in both directions–after
and before56.

Just Ring It!
Number of players:
Game components:
Place the mat on the floor where all players can see it. Divide the class, or
group, into two teams. All players of Team 1 will use a green-colored marker
and all players of Team 2 will use an orange-colored marker. Team 1 starts by
having a player place a marker on any number on the mat. Team 2 will then
do the same. The next player from Team 1 must add or subtract the two
marked numbers and place a marker around that answer. The next player
from Team 2 chooses any two numbers that are “ringed” and either adds or
subtracts those numbers to “ring” a new number. Play continues with each
team’s next player choosing any two ringed numbers to either add or
subtract. If an answer is incorrect, the player must remove the ring and play

advances to the other team. Whichever team correctly rings the last number
possible on the mat wins the game.
Get in the Groove with Factors and Multiples
Number of players:
Game components:
Have the first player roll the cubes, add the two numbers, and place a
marker around the resulting sum. Set aside the cubes. The next player must
place a marker on a factor or multiple of that number. For example: Player 1
4
rolls a
ring on either a factor of
12, 18, 24, 30,
the previous number. The player (or team) who leaves the next player with
no moves wins the game.
Intervention Strategies:
Prior Knowledge—Before beginning a game, do a short “warm-up” activity
that allows students to review numbers, counting, and the number patterns
on the hundred mat. Warm up with one of the Fast and Fun Activities listed
in the Activity Guide.
Skip Counting—Reinforce number patterns and skip counting by clapping
patterns, snapping patterns, or counting aloud.
Visual Processing—Remind students how to think visually while working on
the hundred mat. Emphasize that moving one square to the right adds one,
moving one square to the left subtracts one, moving up one square from a
number subtracts ten, and moving down one square from a number adds ten.

Addition and Subtraction Skills—Add numbers on the hundred mat using
the “Counting On” strategy. Subtract using the “Counting Back” strategy.
Problem Solving—Allow students to use pencil and paper to help them solve
math problems. Encourage students to use numbers, symbols, or pictures to
illustrate their problem-solving strategies.
