Hundreds Chart

Using a Hundreds Chart to Build Math Skills

A hundreds chart is one of the most versatile tools for early math instruction, helping kids visualize number patterns, practice skip counting, and build a strong foundation for addition and subtraction. Print this chart and use it for daily counting routines, number recognition games, or as a quick reference during math lessons. It pairs well with our other early math resources, including Using Math and Solving Problems and Measurement and Data.


About This Activity

A hundreds chart shows the numbers 1 to 100 in rows of ten, and it’s one of the most versatile math tools you can keep at home. This printable helps children count, skip count, and spot the patterns that make our number system work.

Kids quickly notice that each row adds ten, and that numbers in the same column share the same ones digit. Those discoveries build real understanding of place value.

How to Use It at Home

  • Color all the numbers you say when skip counting by 2s, 5s or 10s and look at the patterns.
  • Cover a few numbers with sticky notes and have your child figure out what’s hiding.
  • Use it to add 10 or subtract 10 by moving up or down a row.
