100 Chart Building Thinking Classroom Task

Oh no! The 100 Chart Thieves are at it again! They have stolen numbers off the 100s Chart! Your students are tasked with figuring out which numbers have been taken and getting them back!


The 100’s chart is an amazing tool for learning the number patterns in our number system, but it can be difficult to have kids think critically about it since seeing 100 numbers at once can be overwhelming.


Each task in the series has your students looking at a different pattern in the 100’s chart and you can see if you can catch all of the 100’s Chart Thieves. You can try a 100 Chart Task for free before getting the rest!


The task starts by setting the scene and posing the problem, giving students the idea that the thief takes the numbers in a similar pattern every time! This task is already thin sliced so once they figure out the first set of numbers, they get a printable with the next set to figure out.
