Interactive hundreds chart
Three ways to play on screen. Explore and color: click any number to color it, shade the multiples of any number, or hide 20 numbers and work each one out before clicking. Fill it in: type the missing numbers into 10 to 50 blanks, a whole row or a whole column, then press Check to see which are right. Treasure hunt: a gem hides under one number and every guess earns a clue, such as “go down 2 rows and right 3 steps” or “the treasure is 14 more than 33”. Switch to 1 to 120 for first grade.

What is a hundreds chart?
It lays the numbers 1 to 100 out in ten rows of ten. Because every row holds exactly ten numbers, the chart makes our base-ten number system visible: the tens digit tells you the row and the ones digit tells you the column. That simple layout turns counting, skip counting, adding and subtracting into patterns children can see and touch.
Across a row, each number is 1 more than the one before it.
Down a column, each number is 10 more than the one above it.
Every column shares the same ones digit: 3, 13, 23, 33 and so on.
Every row ends with a multiple of ten: 10, 20, 30 up to 100.
Patterns to find on a 100 chart
Patterns are where the chart earns its place on the wall. Try these with the interactive chart above or with a colored pencil:
Multiples of 10 make one straight column on the right edge.
Multiples of 5 make two columns: the 5s column and the 10s column.
Multiples of 2 (even numbers) make five stripes, every other column.
Multiples of 9 run diagonally down and to the left: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 up to 99.
Multiples of 11 run diagonally down and to the right: 11, 22, 33 up to 99.
Multiples of 3 make diagonal lines that slope down to the left.
Prime numbers have no pattern at all: there are 25 primes between 1 and 100, starting 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.
How to add and subtract with a hundreds chart
The chart turns adding and subtracting two-digit numbers into moves on a map:
Down one row adds 10, up one row subtracts 10.
One step right adds 1, one step left subtracts 1.
Example, 34 + 23: start at 34, move down 2 rows to 54 (that is the 20), then right 3 to 57.
Example, 72 − 38: start at 72, move up 3 rows to 42 (that is the 30), then left 8 to 34.
Adding 9 is a shortcut: move down one row and one step left. Adding 11 is down one row and one step right.
Color chart: rainbow rows, rainbow columns or a checkerboard, so each row or column is easy to follow with a finger. Shade the multiples of any number, the even or odd numbers, or the primes.
Blank hundreds chart: an empty 10 by 10 grid with only the first number (or the first column) filled in, for writing the numbers from memory.
Missing numbers: choose how many numbers disappear, from a few to most of the chart. The answer key shows the missing numbers in orange.
Cut-apart puzzle: the chart is split into puzzle pieces along thick lines. Cut, mix and rebuild it on the blank board on page 2.
Mystery picture: color the listed numbers to reveal a heart, a sun, an apple, a pine tree, a fish or a house. The answer key shows the finished picture.

Printing tips
Print at 100% or “actual size” so every square stays the same size.
Slip a chart into a sheet protector to reuse it with a dry-erase marker.
For a wall chart, print the color chart on card stock. For a desk chart, print two per student.
Choose the Andika, Lexend or OpenDyslexic font for readers who find some number shapes confusing.
1 to 100 chart, 1-100 number chart and chart to 100
The same grid goes by many names: a 1 to 100 chart, a 1-100 chart, a 1-100 number chart, a number chart 1 to 100 or a chart to 100. They all mean ten rows of ten numbers, starting at 1 in the top left and ending with 100 at the bottom right. The first card in the PDF section is the classic 1 to 100 chart. For a 100 chart for kids, print the rainbow version, where each row has its own color, so children can see that a row of ten always ends in a multiple of ten.

Hundreds chart 0 to 99 and the 0 100 chart
Some teachers start the chart at 0, so that the tens digit matches the row number: row 0 is 0 to 9, row 1 is 10 to 19. This 0 100 chart (really 0 to 99) is in the table above. Children who learn on a 1 to 100 chart sometimes find that 10, 20 and 30 are at the end of a row rather than at the start, which is a good talking point.
Numbers on a 100 chart: how many times does each digit appear?
A fun question to ask when children are comfortable with the chart is how many times a digit appears in the numbers from 1 to 100. We counted every digit:
Digit
Times it appears on a 1 to 100 chart
0
11

4

6

7

9

All digits
192
The digit 1 appears 21 times because it is in all ten of the numbers 10 to 19 as a tens digit, in 1, 11, 21 up to 91 as a ones digit, and once more in 100. The digit 0 is the rarest, with 11 appearances, because it can only be a ones digit in the ten multiples of ten and twice in 100.

Can I print a hundreds chart 1-100 and a 120 chart?
Yes. Choose 1 to 100 for the standard hundreds chart or 1 to 120 for first grade. Both print on one page, in color or black and white.
Is there a hundreds chart game?
Yes. Treasure hunt mode, above, hides a gem under one number. Every guess earns a clue in rows and steps, in how many more or less, or simply bigger or smaller, so children practice place value while they search. Fill it in mode is a race to complete the missing numbers.
Is a hundreds chart the same as a 100 chart or a number chart?
Yes. Hundreds chart, 100 chart, 100s chart and number chart 1 to 100 all mean the same printable grid of the numbers 1 to 100.
Should the chart start at 0 or 1?
Both are used. A 1 to 100 chart is the most common. A 0 to 99 chart puts every number with the same tens digit in the same row, which some teachers prefer for place value.
What is a 120 chart?
A 120 chart adds two more rows to the 1 to 100 grid, showing 1 to 120. First graders use it because the Common Core standards ask them to count to 120.
What grade uses a hundreds chart?
Children use one from kindergarten, when they learn to count to 100, through grade 2, when they add and subtract within 100 and count beyond it.
How do you use a hundreds chart to add?
Start on the first number. Move down one row for every ten you add and one square right for every one. For 34 + 23, move down two rows to 54, then right three squares to 57.
What patterns can you find on the chart?
Each column shares the same ones digit, each row ends in a multiple of ten, multiples of 5 form two columns, multiples of 9 form a diagonal line, and even numbers fill every other column.
How many prime numbers are there from 1 to 100?
There are 25 prime numbers between 1 and 100. The number 1 is not prime.
What is a blank hundreds chart used for?
Children fill in the numbers themselves, which shows whether they understand the order of numbers and the pattern of the rows and columns. You can keep the first number or the first column as a clue.
What is a hundreds chart mystery picture?
It is a 10 by 10 number grid with a list of numbers to color in given colors. When every number is colored, a hidden picture appears. Our answer key shows the finished picture.
Can I make a skip counting chart?
Yes. Choose Count by 2s, 5s, 10s or another step in the generator and the chart lists the numbers in that pattern, for example 5, 10, 15 up to 500.
Is there an interactive hundreds chart?
Yes, on this page, with three modes. Explore and color shades patterns and hides numbers, Fill it in checks the numbers your child types, and Treasure hunt turns place value into a guessing game.
