Numbers 1 to 100

Ten rows of ten, one colour per row. Count across, count down, count in tens — the tens pattern is visible as a column before anyone has to explain it.

How to use it

Put it where it will be looked at without being asked — a fridge door beats a desk drawer. Then use it sideways rather than as a poster: cover a number and ask what is hiding, count down a column out loud to hear the tens, start at 47 and count on ten, find every number ending in 3. Two minutes at a time, standing up, is the whole idea.

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.
