Control Chart: Hundred Board
For hands-on mathematics, this laminated control chart serves as an essential reference tool for the Hundred Board material, displaying numbers 1-100 in a clear 10x10 grid format. Children use this chart to self-check their work when arranging number tiles on the Hundred Board, supporting independent learning and pattern recognition. The durable laminated surface ensures long-lasting classroom use while helping children visualize number sequences and develop their understanding of the decimal system.
“The senses, being explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.”— Maria MontessoriThe Discovery of the Child
The Control Chart for the Hundred Board embodies the Montessori principle of control of error through its laminated 10x10 grid displaying numbers 1-100. This reference tool allows children to verify their own work independently, eliminating the need for adult correction. The chart's visual organization in rows of ten reveals the structure of our decimal system, while its placement alongside the Hundred Board creates a complete self-correcting system. When children arrange physical number tiles and compare them to this control chart, they engage in concrete manipulation followed by abstract verification. The laminated surface withstands repeated handling as children trace numbers with their fingers, building muscle memory alongside numerical understanding. This control chart transforms number learning from memorization into discovery, as children identify patterns, skip count, and explore mathematical relationships through visual comparison.
Step by Step to Mastery
Let them work at their own pace without correcting
Point to each number on both the board and chart
Encourage self-discovery of errors rather than pointing them out
Ask 'Can you find where 47 belongs?' to build number sense
