120 chart: missing numbers worksheets

Twelve rows of ten, one to a hundred and twenty. The extra two rows are the point: a child who is fluent to a hundred often stops there, and 101 to 120 is where the pattern has to be trusted rather than remembered. Free printable sheets, with an answer key.

What's on this sheet

A HUNDRED IS NOT THE END OF THE CHART, and grade one’s own standard says so — 1.NBT.A.1 asks a child to count to 120, not to 100. The two extra rows cost nothing to print and they are where the counting stops being recitation: 109, 110, 111 has to be worked out the first few times.

Why this sheet works

Ten columns is the whole lesson, the same as on the hundreds chart. One step right is one more and one step down is ten more, so a blank can be reached from either direction — and crossing from 100 to 101 keeps both of those true, which is the thing the last two rows demonstrate.
