Parent Activity Grade 2 Unit 2

Using the 200 Chart

Parent Tip:

When students use the 200 Chart, number sense is developed. In first grade,

children are introduced to the 100s Chart to learn how to skip count, find patterns,

and learn the Counting On addition strategy. The family letter for Unit 2 explains

the importance of the 200 Chart, along with using manipulatives and calculators,

for exploring addition and subtraction. For more specific information on math

How to use the 200 Chart with your child:

A very helpful game to play with your child that uses the 200s Chart is to think of

a number such as “37”, but do not tell your child the number. Ask your child to

start by placing their finger or pencil on any number on the 200 Chart. Next,

figure at least three moves using the terms add or subtract: add to the right⇒;

subtract to the left⇐; subtract 10, up a row⇑, or add 10, down a row⇓; that will

land the student on the target number of “37”.

Note illustration below:

Yellow = number green = student’s start

23 24

26 27

29 30

1. Parent thinks of a number unknown to the child, e.g. “37”.

2. Parent directs child to start at any number on the 200s Chart.

3. In this case, the child starts at “9”. Child should move finger or pencil to

“9”.

4. Parent states, “Add 10”. Child should move finger or pencil down (⇓) 1

row, which adds ten.

5. Parent states, “Subtract 2”. Child should move finger or pencil 2 squares to

the left (⇐).

6. Parent states, “Add 20”. Child should move finger or pencil down 2 rows

(⇓).

7. Parent asks, “What number are you are on?” If the directions were followed

properly the child should be on the target number.
