1- 100 Chart

Personalize 1-100 Chart in Learning Math

As to basic math learning, number charts can be used in order to learn even numbers, odd numbers, and so on. Here is how you can personalize the number 1 to 100 poster chart to learn.

Counting by Multiples

1. Make copies of a printable template of the poster chart.
2. Prepare tools to color such as dot marker or crayon.
3. You can try to let them count by tens (10, 20, 30..) or by twos (2, 4, 8..) and so on
4. Make a puzzle by hiding some numbers in the chart so they can fill in to practice recognizing the patterns.

Missing Numbers

1. Print out a number chart poster of 1 to 100 that uses a grid.
2. Make a blank on some numbers on the grid for the kids later to write down.
3. You can use stickers to make the missing numbers on the chart. So later you can put the stickers for other numbers.

Is It Possible to Teach Math in Afterschool Activities?

It is practicable to apply math as informal learning during the afterschool as the coordinators or teachers are active by giving variation activities to develop number sense.

For practice, counting the number of snacks they have collected in the basket before the snack time comes. Use a number chart while they count so it will help them visualize the pattern.

According to the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory (SEDL), for academic enrichment in afterschool especially math, there are also three main supports for learning; problem solving, math discussion with feedback, and group work. This is also the reason why hands-on activity can be easily accepted by kids.

Thus recalls that everyday or real-life situations were recommended as a practice to improve the math concept better way.

How to Make Math Fun for Kids by Using Number Charts?

Besides personalizing the number chart for missing numbers and counting by multiples, it can be used to create exciting games such as Number Race.

The number race requires the use of a simple but fun chart template (choose the level from the 50s charts, 100s chart, or even up to 1000 chart!)

Those who can complete or memorize the specific sequence from the chart along with the right answer from the trivia is the winner. As an example, ask kids to mention the sequence from 15 to 30 or to fill them up! Then ask them whether there is a prime number in the sequence or not.

The race on memorizing these numbers helps to foster competitive needs and fun. Therefore, a number chart can be said to be a versatile yet interactive tool to use for kids aged from preschool to elementary school.
