The Answer is 100

The Answer is 100 is a Grade 6 equation-creation challenge where groups try to write as many different expressions or equations as possible that evaluate to 100. Students work collaboratively within a time limit, then trade papers with another group for verification. Only clearly written, mathematically correct equations count toward the final total.

Use it for small-group work when students are practicing operations, expression structure, and equation verification. Comparing the class’s successful examples at the end highlights how many different mathematical paths can lead to the same target.
