How it works
A 1-50 numbers chart is the top half of a hundreds chart: five rows of 10, each ending in a ten. Print this 1-50 chart filled in, blank or with gaps, then add the matching 51 to 100 sheet.

A printable number chart 1-50 on one sheet
Press Print the chart for one upright Letter or A4 sheet: a Name and Date line, then five rows of large squares. Partly blank empties 13, 25 or 38 of the 50 squares, and any empty square brings an answer key on a second page. On screen, press New practice chart, type the missing numbers and press Check.
A number chart 1-40, and the sheet from 51 to 100
For a number chart 1-40, choose 1 to 40 under Numbers on the chart: four rows that end on 40. Choose 51 to 100 and 51 sits where 1 was, so every square is 50 more than its twin. Cut out both charts and tape the second under the first: 51 hangs below 41.
- Under More options, mark the multiples of 5 and 10. On the 1 to 50 chart column 5 gets one shape and column 10 two.
- Cross off one square each school day. Day 50 fills this sheet; the 51 to 100 sheet carries on to day 100.
- On the filled chart 25 + 10 = 35 is one square straight down: 35 sits under 25.
Questions and answers
What is a 1 to 50 number chart used for?
It is for counting to 50, finding 10 more by moving one row down, and counting by 5 and 10 before a class meets the whole hundred. Five rows show the pattern without 100 squares to scan.
How do I get a blank 1-50 chart to fill in?
Choose Blank and press Print the chart. All 50 squares come out empty, with the filled chart as an answer key on a second page. For an easier start, Partly blank at 25 percent leaves 37 numbers as clues.
Should the chart start at 0 or at 1?
Match the chart the class already uses. From 1, every row ends in a ten: 10, 20, 30. Choose 0 to 49 and the rows start 0, 10, 20 instead, so 20 to 29 share one row and one tens digit.
What comes after the 1-50 chart?
The 51 to 100 sheet comes next. A fair test is that sheet at 50 percent hidden: a child who fills it without counting up from 51 is ready for the 200 chart, which carries the same rows on to 200.
