Monthly Hundreds Chart Activities for a Kindergarten Classroom

Hundreds charts are so common in most kindergarten classroom but I felt I wasn't getting enough use out of mine and students weren't interacting it with it nearly enough.  It is such a great resource and since and I wanted to make better use of it.   I decided to change it and now I love having the Hundred’s Chart as a math center in the classroom.  I found so many fun and engaging activities to do with it.  To keep it exciting and new for my students, I have created Monthly Hundreds Chart Numbers for my students to use in the center (these are snowman numbers are a freebie at the end of the post)

These numbers fit perfectly into a hundreds chart (affiliate link).  I started doing a variety of hundreds charts center activities in my classroom.

Hundreds Charts Math Center Activities

Ordering Numbers: One fun center activity is simply ordering numbers.  My students always love this activity and it really helps students ordering numbers and counting to 100.  For this activity, I just have all of the numbers available to students to put in a hundreds chart.  While this may be an easy center activity for most students, for students who are struggling, you may wish to have the support of a hundreds chart print out available.  This provides some students with the support that they need.  
Once students have finishing putting the numbers in order,  I then have students practice counting to 100 while pointing to each number.

Guess the Missing Numbers: Another fun whole group activity is guess the missing number.   This works great at a whole group math warm up.  For this activity, I take a few numbers out of the hundreds chart and students then identify what numbers are missing. Once students become more capable, this also works as a great center activity that students can do with each other in small groups.  

Show How Many: Finally, a fun activity with these hundreds chart numbers that students can do independently or with partners is for students to put the numbers in order (without the hundred’s chart).  Based on students abilities, you may wish to have them order numbers to 10, 20, or even higher (making it easy to differentiate).  I then have students match the correct number or manipulatives (I usually use Target erasers) to number.

Your students may enjoy interacting with these year long Monthly Hundreds Chart Numbers that you can change out every month.  This can easily be changed out every month and contains numbers to 120 and make a fun seasonal themed activity in your classroom and helps to get your students very familiar with the hundreds chart.
