A hundred chart (or hundred board) is a great resource for all levels of math. For Delaney, I cover up numbers with colored tiles and she tells me which numbers are hiding. Both girls have used the hundred chart to circle skip counting patterns, too. I thought I would share a few hundred chart activities and resources that we have been using lately:
- Natalie is loving the hundred board logic problems at Mathwire (pictured above). She completed all three problems, and I need to spend some time creating more like them. Mathwire has other hundred board activities too, including hundred board puzzles and missing numbers.
- Let’s Play Math has a collection of 20+ Things To Do With a Hundred Chart – from simple number pattern activities to more complicated multiplication and fraction work. Lots of great ideas!
- Give the Dog a Bone online game – find 10 numbers on a blank hundred chart in one minute.
Tip of the Day: Need a hundred chart? Find a printable hundred chart at The Math Worksheet Site (you can print one from 1-100 or from 0-99). Print it on cardstock, laminate it, and then you can use it for games, solving problems, finding patterns, etc.
I would love to hear how you are using a hundred chart to practice math skills!

Thanks so much! I just did some things with skip counting and prime numbers (sieve of Eratosthenes) and have been looking for more activities with the hundred chart. My son will LOVE the logic problem above and similar.
This is a great idea, I can see how this will really help! Karen

Hi-
I love your math ideas. My daughter is in kindergarten and is having trouble with coins, mainly adding up their values. Do you have any fun ideas for math with coins?
Thanks,
Jeni
What great timing! I just discovered how helpful a hundred chart can be. We’re using ours to practice strategies to find one of the parts when the whole equals 100. For example is you have 36 and you need to know what to add to it to get 100, you can cover up 3 rows of 10 and 6 ones, starting from the bottom and the answer reveals itself. Also you can start at 36, count up ones to 40 and then count 10s to 100.
