Here are more of my hundreds chart puzzles in my Number Ninja Series. Each puzzle presents sections of the hundreds chart and requires them to fill in each section. This will help kids become more familiar with the hundreds chart, thus increasing their number sense and ability to recognize patterns within it.

I saw these posters in a first grade classroom and thought their simplicity made them effective. And they’re pretty darn cute! Click here to view this same teacher’s main ideas vs details poster.
Sorry this one turned out blurry!
I’ve put together some puzzles to help kids become more familiar with the hundreds chart. I want my kids to be so familiar with the hundreds chart that they can make one by themselves on scratch paper during a test, and can also identify patterns in our base-10 number system. I’ve made a series of puzzles that increase in difficulty.

“This is a great math website for generating a math worksheet on just about any math topic. You can customize it to be easy or hard, to say how many problems, etc.”

As standardized testing draws near, it’s time to review! I made this blank clock worksheet so I can draw in the hands to review whole hours, half hours, to the minute, etc. depending on the grade I’m teaching. When making materials, I try to make them transferable between grades when possible. I’ve made 2 whole sheet pages and a half-sheet.

I’ve seen this idea many times before, but I’ve most of the pages I’ve seen are too “cutesy” to get away with in 6th grade. I made this one that’s pretty standard and has enough space for kids to adequately explain themselves. Although kids don’t like this kind of assignment, it’s where the standardized tests are trending towards. The more practice kids get, the better prepared they’ll be. I recommend doing a problem everyday that focuses on the topic you’re teaching, so that by the time testing rolls around, your kids are used to these kinds of questions.

If you’ve never heard of BrainPop, you’re missing out! It’s a cool internet resource with games, review videos and other stuff for kids. There’s a paid membership available, but you can find tons of stuff for free without it. There are many free, animated movies (available for all content areas) that seem to appeal to kids. many of the review videos include a cute story line and dialogue between Tim and his robot friend, Moby.
