Overview

This learning activity can support the development of fluently adding and subtracting within 100 to solve a problem using drawings or equations. This task introduces students to a problem utilizing a short video clip of a man stacking Pringle chips. Students are then tasked with analyzing the video and utilizing the information gained to make estimates and determine how many Pringles were needed to make the Pringle Ringle. This resource supports the development of fluency to 100 through authentic context and purposeful practice. This resource could be used as a formative assessment task for assessing fluency to 100 or as a whole-group engagement activity at the start of a math lesson.
