What Is A Hundreds Chart?

A hundreds chart is a great interactive math activity that they can practice individually or in groups. With 15 pages of different hundreds activities, our printable hundreds charts are perfect for young learners!

Benefits of Using Hundreds Charts

How Hundreds Charts Help Children Understand Number Sense

• Number Patterns: They can identify number patterns, such as how odd and even numbers alternate or how numbers change in the tens and ones places.
• Skip Counting: It’s a fantastic tool for teaching skip counting (counting by twos, fives, or tens). This skill is crucial for multiplication and understanding number sequences.
• Sequencing Skills: Kids can practice sequencing skills, which lays the foundation for understanding numerical order in math.
• Number Writing: Kids can practice their number writing skills by filling in the missing numbers.
