How to use the hundreds chart printable
- Choose the chart type: a full chart, a chart with missing numbers, or an empty grid.
- For missing numbers, set how many to hide, from 5 to 60, and keep the answer key page if you want one.
- Pick whether the chart starts at 1 or 0, and whether to shade the multiples of a number from 2 to 10.
- Check the preview, then press Download PDF or Print. Use the button to hide a different set of numbers.
Three kinds of chart
A full chart is ten rows of ten numbers from 1 to 100, or from 0 to 99 if you choose to start at zero. It is useful for counting, for spotting patterns in the columns, and for skip counting. A missing numbers chart hides a set of numbers for children to fill in, and an empty grid has the ten by ten squares with no numbers at all.
On the missing numbers chart the hidden squares are chosen by a seeded shuffle of the 100 squares. The puzzle code under the options always hides the same numbers, so you can print the same puzzle again, and a different code gives a different puzzle. The answer key page shows the whole chart with the hidden numbers marked.
Shading multiples and skip counting
Shading the multiples of a number lights up a pattern. Multiples of 5 form two columns, multiples of 10 form one column, and multiples of 3 make a diagonal pattern that shifts from row to row. The page shades every multiple from 2 to 10 inside the chart, and zero is left unshaded when the chart starts at 0.
These charts help with counting, number order and early multiplication. Pair them with the Multiplication Chart Printable, practice sheets from the Math Worksheet Generator, and the Name Tracing Worksheet for handwriting. The Word Scramble Maker makes a puzzle for spelling words.
Assumptions and limits
- The chart prints on US Letter paper in portrait orientation with squares of 50 points.
- Missing numbers are chosen at random from a seeded shuffle and never repeat.
- The title is optional. An empty title uses the default for the chart.
- Nothing you choose leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
What is a hundreds chart used for?
It is a ten by ten grid of the numbers from 1 to 100 used for counting, number patterns and skip counting. Teachers and parents use it to show how numbers are arranged in tens.
How do I make a hundreds chart with missing numbers?
Choose the missing numbers chart type and set how many to hide. The page hides that many squares at random and can print an answer key.
Can the chart start at zero?
Yes. Choose 0 as the start and the chart shows 0 to 99, which keeps each row in the same tens group.
How do I print the same puzzle again?
Keep the same puzzle code. The same code always hides the same numbers. Press the button for a different set.
