I'm impressed with the math brain power in my room this year. The students have come up with some very unique ways to express 114 for the 114th Day. You must keep in mind that these are 1st graders and they are doing the computations in their heads. I would never have thought of 10x10+20-6=114. When young minds are left to explore alternative ideas, they will surprise you. What would you give as an equivalent name for 114?
