Hundred charts offer so many valuable learning ideas! I want to share with you a BUNCH of fun and simple hundred chart learning ideas and resources for teaching your kids. You can use these charts for teaching many different ability levels. Following are my favorite ways to put the 100 chart to good use.

Hundred Chart Learning Ideas from Teach Beside Me

What is a hundred chart?  

A Hundred Chart  is a number chart or grid with 100 numbered squares in rows of ten. They are used as a learning tool all over the world to help children learn to count to 100. They are also wonderful to use when teaching skip counting, odd numbers and even numbers, number sense, number recognition, and  multiplication. A hundred chart can be used to help kids with all kind of math activities.

This video shows how I teach my kids to count to 100 by 10’s.

1. Learn to count with a hundred chart. My first grader loves to pull our out to practice!
