About the number chart

Before the hundreds chart makes sense, children need the numbers to 20 to be automatic — recognising them, naming them, and seeing that 13 is a ten and three more. This chart keeps the count small and the cells big: five numbers per row, so each step down a column adds five, mirroring the way children count on fingers and ten-frames — five and some more. The large, clear numerals also give beginning writers a proper model to copy when they practise forming numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What age is a 1–20 number chart for?

Pre-K, kindergarten and early 1st grade — whenever number recognition and counting to 20 are the focus.

Why five columns instead of ten?

Bigger cells and a friendlier count for little learners, and rows of five mirror fingers and ten-frames — five and some more.

What comes after this chart?

The hundreds chart (1–100), and then the 120 chart used in 1st grade.
