Maths query - what is a "hundred square"?

[MaggieW]

I've just seen a mention of this on DD's curriculum overview for the term, but I haven't got a clue what it is. Can anyone help please?

1000????

I know - we have one !! It is quite simply a Square - like a grid - with the numbers 1 to 100 laid out left to right, so that 11 is beneath 1, 12 is beneath 2, 21 is beneath 11, 31 is under 21, so all the 1's are in a column, all the 2's are in a column etc

They seem to use them to understand how small or big a number is relative to another !

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40

etc up to

91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100

I can't space top row properly - but you get the gist ?

Ooops sorry, should have read the question. Sorry, what a plonker!!!!!!!

hundred square

100 x 100 = 10,000

see I too saw 100 squared! I blame the wine.

I blame the lack of wine.

I was about to query square or squared.

Here's one you can play with

Fantastic - thanks so much. Knew you'd come up trumps!
