Also included in this post is a free printable hundred chart set. Â Find it below.
This is VERY simple & fun counting math game. It would work well in a math center in schools or for an activity to change up your typical math lesson.
How to Make the Hundred Chart Puzzle:
Watch all about it here:
To make this puzzle, will need to print out two different 100 charts.  Print the charts onto card stock in two different colors. The colors are optional of course, but make it more fun! If you don’t have card stock paper it will work fine on regular paper, too.  This just makes it stronger. One chart will be cut apart and one will be left whole.
Cut the hundred chart into random pieces 3-6 squares in size.
Now kids get to reassemble the puzzle. They will need some number recognition and counting skills to achieve this math puzzle. This is great for kindergarten or first grade kids.
To make it a little more challenging for older kids, they could do the puzzle without the second chart to match up to. You can also start with a blank hundred chart and have them fill them in first.
If you want to make this more durable, laminate the chart and the puzzle pieces. Another option is to add velcro dots to make the puzzles pieces secure!

Thanks for sharing this idea at the AfterSchool party. My oldest attended a Montessori preschool and kindergarten and they did different activities with the hundreds board. I haven’t thought of it in ages, but my younger two would really enjoy this activity.
