• Count the number of blue bands that contain numbers. (10)
•Tell the total number of blue and yellow bands that contain
numbers. (20)
• Tell how many numbers are in each band. (5)

on the pencil are colored in yellow on the chart and the
numbers that appear in the blue bands are colored in blue

notice on the chart.
I’m Thinking of a Number Game
Here’s a perfect game for you and your students to play with
your Count from 1 to 100 Pencils. To play, describe a series of
numbers and then, after each description, have each child use
one finger to cover on his or her Pencil the number that’s just
been described.
Children can take turns writing the number described on
the board while the other classmates check to see if they
correctly identified the number described. With practice,
students can take turns describing numbers—and number
combinations—for classmates to guess.
