What is a hundred chart?
A hundred chart is a table of numbers in rows of ten. Each step to the right adds 1 and each step down adds 10. On this page you can print the chart filled in, with missing numbers for the child to write, blank, or with the multiples of 2, 3, 5 or 10 marked.
How to use it
- Pick the numbers on the chart: 1 to 100, 0 to 99, 1 to 50 or 101 to 200.
- Pick the layout: filled in, fill-in, blank or multiples marked.
- On the multiples layout, pick the number: 2, 3, 5 or 10.
- On the fill-in layout, tap Shuffle the gaps to change the empty boxes.
- Tick the answer option if you also want to print the completed chart.
- Tap Print the sheet. In the print window, keep the scale at 100% (or choose Fit to page on Letter paper).
The four layouts
- Filled in: every number, large and easy to read. Use it as a reference on the desk or on the wall.
- Fill-in: each row has 4 empty boxes, picked at random. The answer sheet shows the missing numbers highlighted.
- Blank: just the grid, for the child to write the whole sequence or for you to build your own activity.
- Multiples marked: the multiples of 2, 3, 5 or 10 get a black corner and a bolder number. The mark shows clearly in black and white.
Activity ideas with the chart
- Counting by tens: pick any number and go down the column. The child sees that only the tens digit changes.
- Neighbors: cover a number with a counter and ask what comes before, what comes after, what is above and what is below.
- Adding and subtracting by moving: for 34 + 23, start at 34, go down 2 boxes and move 3 to the right.
- Secret number: give clues such as "it is greater than 40, less than 50 and ends in 7" and let the class find it on the chart.
- Patterns: on the multiples of 3 chart, look at the diagonals. On the multiples of 5 chart, the two columns. Ask the child to explain the pattern.
- Puzzle: cut a filled-in chart into pieces of different shapes and ask the child to put it back together.
1 to 100 or 0 to 99?
On the 1 to 100 chart, each row ends on the exact ten: 10, 20, 30. It is the most common layout in textbooks.
On the 0 to 99 chart, every number in a row starts with the same digit: the 30 row runs from 30 to 39. Many teachers prefer it for showing the tens.
The 101 to 200 chart carries the same logic past one hundred.
Frequently asked questions
What is a hundred chart used for?
It shows the order of the numbers and how they are grouped in tens. With the chart a child counts, compares numbers, spots patterns and solves additions and subtractions by moving across the boxes.
Does the fill-in sheet have an answer key?
Yes. Tick the answer option and the page prints the same chart with the missing numbers highlighted.
How are the multiples shown on the sheet?
Each multiple gets a black triangle in the corner of its box and a bolder number. You do not need a color printer.
Do the gaps change with every print?
They change when you tap Shuffle the gaps. The sheet number is printed at the bottom, so the sheet and its answer key stay together.
Can I use it in class?
Yes. The sheets are free to print and use at home or at school.
