Description
Creative’s Hundreds Board is a thoroughly revised STEM maths activity
that gives children aged 6 and up a hands-on tool for exploring the entire
number system from 1 to 100. The multi-coloured board, 100 counters
in two colours (50 yellow, 50 red), two dice, and an Activity Book work
together to cover eight distinct number skills from reading numbers and
skip counting to back counting, odd/even patterns, and simple multiplication.
Children use counters to mark patterns directly on the board: every even
number, every multiple of five, all numbers greater than 50. Rolling the
two dice to generate addition and subtraction problems, then placing a
counter on the answer, turns arithmetic drill into a game. The Activity
Book provides structured exercises that connect board exploration to
written number work.
Parents choose this set because it bridges the gap between counting toys
and formal maths in a way that feels like play. Teachers reach for it
because the hundreds board is a recognised curriculum tool in primary
maths, and this version’s two-colour counters and included Activity
Book make it more versatile than a bare board.
HOW CHILDREN LEARN
- A child places a red counter on every even number from 2 to 100
and steps back to look at the result — seeing the pattern of even
numbers in columns is a visual insight that textbook exercises
rarely produce as clearly. - Skip counting by fives means placing a counter on 5, 10, 15, 20 …
and noticing that every counter falls in the same column that
column pattern is the child’s first encounter with the concept of multiples. - Rolling two dice, adding the numbers, and placing a counter on the
sum gives repeated, game-like addition practice across a wide range
of number combinations without any worksheets. - Back counting from 100 to 1 using the board as a reference trains
children to understand the number system as bidirectional a concept
that is essential for subtraction and later for negative numbers. - Comparing patterns of two-colour counter placements all odd numbers
in yellow, all even in red — builds the ability to recognise, describe,
and reason about mathematical patterns, a key component of
algebraic thinking.
SKILLS DEVELOPED
- Number Recognition & Reading 1–100
- Skip Counting (2s, 3s, 5s, 10s)
- Odd & Even Numbers
- Ordering, Sequencing & Back Counting
- Pattern Recognition
- Basic Arithmetic (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication)
- Problem Solving & Logical Thinking
WHO IS IT FOR
- Children aged 6 to 10 who are ready to explore number patterns,
skip counting, odd/even numbers, and basic arithmetic beyond
simple counting. - Parents looking for a curriculum-aligned maths tool that gives a
child a visual and tactile way to understand numbers up to 100. - Primary school teachers who need a hundreds board resource
for numeracy sessions covering number patterns, skip counting,
and arithmetic games. - Homeschooling parents covering Key Stage 1 and 2 maths concepts
place value, multiples, arithmetic, and pattern recognition
through structured board activities. - Maths tutors and learning support educators who use the hundreds
board as a visual reference and counter-marking tool in structured
learning sessions. - Gift-givers looking for a curriculum-quality STEM maths resource
for a 6–10-year-old that a teacher would recognise and a child
would genuinely use.
