Concept
A Hundred Chart is a big square grid with 10 rows and 10 columns. It holds every number up to 100 neatly organized.
🎯 The "Going Across" Pattern (Rows): When you move your finger Left to Right across a row, you are just counting up by ones! Every number is 1 more than the last one. * 41, 42, 43, 44...
🎯 The "Going Down" Pattern (Columns): This is where the magic happens! When you move your finger Straight Down a column, the number in the ones place stays EXACTLY THE SAME, but the number in the tens place gets bigger! You are skip-counting by 10s. * First column: 1, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91. * All of them end in 1! A whole column of 1s!
This map makes it super fast to add 1 or add 10 to any number.
