Patterns in the hundreds chart
Down a column every number grows by ten; along a row, by one. Filling in missing numbers makes children use those patterns instead of counting from 1 every time.More counting

- Grade 1Counting, reading and writing whole numbers up to 100, and counting by 2s, 5s and 10s up to 100.
- Grade 1Place value in two-digit numbers: how many tens and how many ones.
- Grade 2Whole numbers up to 1000, and counting by 20s, 50s and 100s.
Under MATATAG, Grade 1 numbers stop at 100, so the 1-to-100 chart covers the whole Grade 1 year. The 1-to-120 chart goes past it and works as an extension for quick counters. The Kindergarten guide sets no fixed counting range.
In Filipino the tens have their own words (sampu, dalawampu, tatlumpu up to isang daan), and reading down a column of the chart is a natural way to practise them.
