What's on this sheet

Each row jumps by a hundred. The blank falls a hundred before the printed number, a hundred after it, or between two numbers two hundred apart, so the direction has to be read each time.

Why this sheet works

Only the hundreds digit changes, and seeing that is the whole lesson — the tens and the ones sit still while the digit in front of them counts on.

How this one works

295 ?

295?
295+ 100
295395
  1. This row counts by 100, so every gap is 100 more or 100 less than the number beside it — the only question is which way.
  2. The gap is AFTER 295, so it is 100 more: 295 + 100.
  3. 295 + 100 = 395. Nothing carries, so only the hundreds digit moves and every digit to its right stays exactly where it was.
