Description
Develop strong number sense with our 120s Chart Center! This differentiated pocket chart math center helps students practice counting and understanding numbers up to 120. Perfect practice for place value, expanded form, and addition facts. When students place numbers on the 120’s chart, they are learning to notice patterns between numbers. As students become faster in completing the chart they ‘level-up’ to other card sets.
6 Levels of Cards Included:
- Level 1: Number Cards
- Level 2: Place Value Pieces
- Level 3: Tens & Ones
- Level 4: Expanded Form
- Level 5: Subtraction Facts (from a ten…50-4)
- Level 6: Addition Fact (from “9” to encourage making a 10…39+7)
Initially I only use the number cards (1-120) for all 3 of my math groups. Students pull a number and then, place it in its home. Many students will individually count each square on the 120s chart until they find the desired home. Eventually, students will discover ‘tricks’ for finding the number’s home – counting by tens, noticing the number’s relationship to other numbers in the 120s chart, etc.
After students are successful using the number cards, I introduce the Place Value cards. These place value cards are perfect for practice counting tens and ones. Next, I introduce the tens/ones cards for the numbers (1 ten 8 ones). Then, students use the expanded form of each number to place it on the chart (30 + 8). I use Set 5 later in the year when we work on subtraction and Set 6 when we need practice Making 10 to Add.
To keep the cards organized and easy to sort, I copy them on colored cardstock, each set in a plastic baggies, magnet-ed to the back of a filing cabinet where our 120s chart hangs. Students know which baggies to grab and love to beat their fastest time!

I love the easily differentiated options in this resource. Kids practice numbers, base ten blocks, addition and subtraction problems, and tens and ones. Just print on different colors of paper!

I love this 120 chart center! I feel like it is helping my students get a better grasp of numbers and understanding relationships such as ten more ten less!

I like this resource! My students enjoyed it very much!

I love how there are different levels of difficulty for different groups of students!

I absolutely love this resource. I have had students who struggle with Place Value, and the differentiation has allowed them to spend time playing around with the different ways to represent a number. EXCELLENT.

I bought a second 100 chart because the students loved doing this so much! I’m so glad that I didn’t have to make all of these myself 🙂 I also added in a few extra cards with number words on them.

Great resource and simple to set up once you get it ready and printed.
Christine P. –
This is a good 120 chart resource. Good for the whole group, center, or small group resource.
Lisa K. –
I am so excited to have this. My students love to put the numbers in order 1 to 120 but now they can use other skills to figure out the number and then put it on the chart. It makes the 120 chart useful for longer in the school year.

This product was a year-long station in my classroom. Students quickly learned what they were to do and it provided a great way to practice their number skills.
