Hundreds chart with missing numbers
The hundred chart with holes in it. Two pages with thirty gaps each in different places, and a third where only the tens are missing — the column a child is meant to notice.
How to use it
Do this next to the full chart the first time, not instead of it: a child fills a gap by reading the neighbours — the one before, the one after, the one above — and that is the skill, not the number itself. If they get stuck, ask "what comes after 46?" rather than pointing at the answer.
Page 3 leaves out only 10, 20, 30 and so on. Every other number is there, so the gaps line up in one column, and a child who fills them in has just discovered why the chart has ten squares in a row.

Printing notes
- Print at 100%, not "fit to page" — scaling shrinks the digits and the whole point is that your child writes them at a steady size.
- Black-and-white and draft mode are fine. Nothing on these sheets depends on colour.
- Slide a sheet into a punched pocket and a dry-wipe pen turns one page into a hundred goes.
