How to play Hundred Square Pieces

Imagine a big number square โ€” 1 to 100 in rows of ten โ€” cut into jigsaw pieces. Each piece keeps its shape, but most of its numbers have been rubbed out.

Use the patterns of the number square: one step right is one more, one step down is ten more. From one shown number you can fill a whole piece, square by square.

Harder levels use bigger numbers and pieces with fewer clues, and the tens square counts in tens and hundreds โ€” great place-value practice.

How to play Hundred Square

Fill the missing numbers on pieces cut from a number square, using right adds 1 and down adds 10.

The rules

  2. Moving one square right adds 1; moving left takes 1 away.
  3. Moving one square down adds 10; moving up takes 10 away.
  4. Fill every empty square on every piece.
