Hundred Chart (Part 2)

A quick and easy extension activity that you can set up for your child after they've become familiar with patterns on the hundred chart is what I call "hundred chart puzzles." In this activity, you include only parts of a complete hundred chart, fill in just one or two numbers, and your child's task is to determine the remaining missing numbers. Here are a few examples:

I've extended the third and the fourth puzzles beyond 100 so you can see examples of ways to increase the level of difficulty. You can also extend to numbers less than 1 should you desire to engage your child in a conversation about negative integers.

Tip: Make puzzles that spell out your child's name; they'll love that! Can you tell what I've spelled with my puzzles? : )
