The Hundreds Number Board may be used to help students:
• count
• count in multiples, eg 2, 4, 6, 8 … Start at any point on the board and count forward by threes,
fives, etc. Start at any point, eg 99 and count back by seven. Will you ever say fifty?
• notice place value relationships between numbers
• develop pattern recognition (multiples of 7, seven times table
• perform calculations
• develop mathematical language
