Basically, we need to do a project that has a 100 pieces. And also write a little thing on what the project is. The paper also included an idea about using a 100 popsicle sticks for making something.

What should we do?

What can you realistically get 100 of? Gotta be like nails, toothpicks, ping pong balls...

Legos... (I don't care if you want to bash me for calling them Legos, and not pieces of LEGO) If your kid is at all like me or pretty much everyone else I know, he probably has a few hundred laying around... build something from them

Materials:
One hundred wine corks.
One large sheet of cardboard.
One bottle of Elmers glue.


Glue corks randomly to the cardboard. Instant clearcut! Look sad.

You should get a hundred nand gates and build a fulladder...

...or let your kid pick out a hundred of something he/she likes. Hmm what do kids like...legos, popcicle-sticks, toothpicks, army men, cherios...let him/her go wild.

100 nearly identical pieces?? i.e. would a piece of wood and 10 nails count as 11 pieces; or do they all have to be somewhat similar?

Simplest: puzzle.

Make his initials. If they want a use, it's how he expresses himself/herself through art and enjoys their time rather than causing trouble. :p

When I did this in 2nd grade I took an old motherboard and glue-gunned a hundred various computer scraps to it.

Tell him to exhale in the direction of the class, and say he just exhaled 100 atoms of some trace gas. Xenon or krypton, I don't know. Or teach him scientific notation, and have him write 100 * 10^20 or some big number on the board - the number of atoms he just exhaled.
(Hey, when I was in kindergarten, I tried (unsuccessfully) to explain infinity to someone who thought 100 was the biggest number. Kids love big numbers.:D)

Teach him binary, and have him write the numbers from 1-100 in binary.
