The Control Chart: Hundred Board is a Educational Materials Montessori material designed for children aged 3-6, crafted by Nienhuis Montessori to AMI standards.
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 child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.”— Maria MontessoriEducation and Peace
“The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence.”
— Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind
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.
Each order includes everything needed for proper presentation and long-term use.
Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Invite the child to arrange number tiles 1-10 on the Hundred Board
Show how to check their work by comparing to the control chart
Continue with subsequent rows, checking after each completion
Once comfortable, challenge them to find specific numbers using the chart
Every material is carefully selected for durability, safety, and authentic Montessori experience.
Sourced from sustainably managed European forests. Beechwood is chosen for its exceptional durability, smooth grain, and natural warmth that invites touch.
Natural, unbleached cotton in child-friendly colors. The fabric provides the right amount of friction for developing fingers while being gentle on sensitive skin.
Water-based, child-safe finish that meets the strictest European safety standards. Designed to withstand years of daily use without chipping or peeling.
Each material supports multiple areas of child development simultaneously.
Reinforces numeral identification and sequential order from 1-100 through visual reference.
Enables independent error checking, building confidence and autonomous learning habits.
Supports recognition of number patterns including skip counting and place value relationships.
Visual representation helps children grasp the base-10 structure through the organized grid layout.
Designed for child-sized hands
Professional tips from AMI-trained guides to maximize the educational value of this material.
“Position the control chart at child's eye level for easy reference”
Demonstrate checking only the first row, then step back to observe independent work
Use the chart for group lessons on number patterns and relationships
Keep the laminated surface clean with a damp cloth for clear visibility
Everything you need to know about this material.
This control chart serves as a reference tool for children working with the Hundred Board material. It displays numbers 1-100 in a 10x10 grid format, allowing children to self-check their work independently when arranging number tiles, promoting self-correction and autonomous learning.
The control chart features a high-quality laminated surface designed for long-lasting classroom use. The lamination protects the chart from spills, tears, and daily handling, making it ideal for repeated use by multiple children throughout the school year.
The control chart helps children visualize number sequences, recognize patterns in the decimal system, understand number relationships, and develop counting skills from 1-100. It supports learning of skip counting, odd/even numbers, and the base-10 structure of our number system.
Yes, while designed as a control chart for the Hundred Board, it can be used independently as a number reference, for counting practice, number recognition activities, or as a visual aid for various mathematical exercises and games.
This control chart is designed for children ages 3-6, aligning with the Montessori primary curriculum. However, it can be beneficial for any child learning number recognition and counting to 100, including those who need additional support or visual references.
