What hundreds chart activities are included?

Leap Frog Number Strips

Each strip is a column from the hundreds chart. Several numbers are missing and have been replaced by lily pads. Students will count by ten to determine the missing numbers. Number cards are provided for students to put in the correct spaces or the strips can be used for oral practice. These tasks involve skip counting starting with any number to reinforce the concept that counting by ten only changes the value in the tens place. Includes 10 number strips plus missing number cards.

Hundred Chart Puzzles

Each card in this set shows a section of the hundreds chart with the center number missing. Students will look at the surrounding numbers to determine the missing one. Number cards are provided to place in the empty spaces, or this can also be done as an oral activity. Reinforces concepts of 1 more/1 less and 10 more/10 less. Includes 20 task cards.

Hoppin’ Through the Hundred Chart Game

This is a game for 2 to 4 players using a hundreds chart with missing numbers. Students take turns rolling a die and moving through the hundreds chart. If a player lands on a lily pad and can tell what the missing number is, he or she gets to roll again. The first person to 100 wins. Includes two different game boards to vary the missing numbers.

Xs and Os on the Hundred Chart

This activity requires students to count by fives and tens. They will circle the numbers on the hundreds chart that they say when counting by five and X the numbers they say when counting by tens. This activity is provided in both color and black & white. The color version can be laminated and used in a center with dry erase markers.
