Hundreds Chart

Print a hundreds chart in the version you teach from: 1 to 100, 1 to 120, or 0 to 99. Hide some or all of the numbers for missing-number practice, shade the multiples of any number from 2 to 12, and print with the completed chart as an answer key. Free, no sign-up.

Leave blank to use the default title.

In the print dialog choose the paper size above, set the scale to 100%, and turn off headers and footers. The answer key starts on its own page, so print page 1 for students.

How to Use the Hundreds Chart

  1. 1. Choose the range. 1 to 100 is the classic chart, 1 to 120 gives twelve rows for counting beyond 100, and 0 to 99 starts at zero so every row shares a tens digit.
  2. 2. Choose what to show. Print a complete chart for reference, hide 10% to half of the numbers for missing-number practice, or hide every number for a blank chart students fill in.
  3. 3. Shade a pattern. Pick a number from 2 to 12 to shade its multiples, or count on from the first number to shade a sequence such as 1, 4, 7, 10 …
  4. 4. Print. Charts with hidden numbers print the completed chart on a second page as an answer key. Each chart fits one Letter or A4 page.

Three Charts, Three Jobs

The 1–100 chart is the one most classrooms have on the wall. The 120 chart adds two rows so students can practise counting past 100 without the chart ending. The 0–99 chart is the version that makes place value visible: row by row, every number in the first row is a single digit, every number in the second row begins with 1, and so on, so the row tells you the tens digit. On the 1–100 chart the tens come at the end of each row — 10, 20, 30 — which hides that pattern.

Patterns That Appear When You Shade

Shading skip-counting patterns turns the chart into a picture of multiplication. A few are worth showing students on the 1–100 chart:

Count byShape on the 1–100 chartWhy
2Every other column, five vertical stripesEach row holds ten numbers, so the even numbers fall in the same columns — 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 — row after row
5Two columns: the fifth and the tenthAdding 5 twice moves down one row to the same column
10The last columnAdding 10 moves straight down a row
9A diagonal running down and to the leftAdding 9 is adding 10 and taking away 1
11A diagonal running down and to the rightAdding 11 is adding 10 and adding 1

The same connection explains one of the chart's most useful skills: moving down a row adds 10 and moving up takes away 10, so students can find 10 more or 10 less without counting. In the Common Core State Standards, kindergarten includes counting to 100 by ones and by tens (K.CC.A.1), grade 1 asks students to count to 120 starting at any number below 120 (1.NBT.A.1) and to find 10 more or 10 less mentally (1.NBT.C.5), and grade 2 includes skip-counting by 5s, 10s and 100s (2.NBT.A.2). Placement varies, so check your own standards.

Missing-Number Practice

Hiding 10–20% of the numbers suits students who are still learning the layout: most neighbours are present, so a gap can be filled by looking left, right, above or below. At 30–50% students have to count from a number further away or use the 10-more, 10-less pattern, and a blank chart asks them to build the whole thing. The gaps are chosen at random from the whole chart, and the worksheet number in the corner brings back the same chart and answer key later. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a hundreds chart with missing numbers?
Set Numbers shown to hide about 10%, 20%, 30% or half of the numbers. The hidden cells are random, and the answer key page prints the complete chart. Use a lower percentage for beginners and a higher one when students can reason from a distant neighbour.
What is the difference between a hundreds chart and a 120 chart?
A hundreds chart ends at 100 after ten rows. A 120 chart has twelve rows and ends at 120, which matches the grade 1 expectation of counting to 120 in the Common Core State Standards. Both are ten columns wide.
Why would I use a 0 to 99 chart?
Because the tens digit equals the row number: the first row is 0–9, the second 10–19, and so on. That makes place value easier to see than on the 1–100 chart, where 10, 20 and 30 end their rows. It also puts zero on the chart.
How do I shade skip counting?
Choose Count by a number from 2 to 12 under Shade a skip-counting pattern. Multiples of the number shades 5, 10, 15 … when you count by 5. Count on from the first number shades 1, 6, 11 … so you can show counting by a step from a starting point that is not a multiple.
Can I print a blank hundreds chart?
Yes. Set Numbers shown to Hide every number — a blank chart. The grid prints with ten columns and empty cells, and the answer key page prints the completed chart. Turn off the answer key if you only want the blank page.
Does shading still show on a blank chart?
Yes. Shaded cells stay shaded when numbers are hidden, so students can see where a pattern lands and write in the numbers — a useful way to practise skip-counting from a blank grid.
