Math Jigsaw Puzzles – Ideal for Number Lessons
What is a 100s Board Puzzle?
Hundreds Board Puzzles are traditionally made by cutting up photocopied 100s charts and using the resulting pieces like a jigsaw puzzle i.e. the students solve the puzzles by putting the numbers back into their correct chronological order. The puzzles on this page deal with counting from 801 to 1 000.
Why You Should Use 100s Chart in the Math Classroom
The hundreds chart is a math classroom staple the world over. When used well, it is a flexible, powerful tool for helping students develop the mathematical skills of Counting, Skip Counting, Adding, Subtracting, seeing patterns, reasoning & number flexibility.

Benefits of Using Electronic Number Boards
While physical puzzles definitely have their uses in the math classroom, electronic versions have many benefits as well. These puzzles are ready to use; you don’t need to make copies, laminate, cut out little pieces or worry about your students losing a puzzle piece.
Easy Differentiation
The puzzles are also very easy to differentiate based on the needs of your students. You can choose a puzzle for each student to complete based on the skills they need to work on. You may have one student working on a 100s chart puzzle counting by 2s, while another student is working on the puzzle for 501-600. As an added challenge, you can also select puzzles with some of the numbers missing. These will force students to use their logic and reasoning skills to assemble the pieces in the correct manner. Each puzzle can also be ‘cut’ into 16, 36, 65 or 100 pieces, which provides you an additional way to instantly differentiate the work different students are doing.
