Printable Hundreds Chart

Patterns on the hundreds chart

Each row is a group of ten, so moving down one square adds 10 and moving right adds 1. That makes the chart a map of place value: all numbers in a column end in the same digit, and all numbers in a row (on the 0–99 version) share the same tens digit. Children who notice these patterns find mental addition much easier.

Ways to use it

• Counting to 100: point and count every morning; kindergarten standards expect counting to 100 by ones and tens.
• Skip counting: highlight multiples of 2, 5 or 10 and look at the stripes and columns they make.
• Missing numbers: use the fill-in version to practise number order and writing two-digit numbers.
• Adding and subtracting 10: jump down or up a row.
• Number writing: the dotted version lets children trace every number from 1 to 100.

1–100 or 0–99?

The 1–100 chart matches how children count aloud. The 0–99 chart keeps the same tens digit in each row (20–29 together), which shows place value more clearly; many teachers use both.
