Are you looking for a fun and hands-on way for your students to improve their place value and counting skills? 120 Number Chart Puzzles is the perfect resource to engage young learners as they count forwards, backwards and order numbers up to 120. With three purposeful and low-prep activities included, students can explore number patterns in a variety of playful and visual ways.

Each activity supports key numeracy outcomes through interactive tasks that reinforce number recognition, number order and fluency. Whether students are piecing together number charts, building giant grids or playing strategic colouring games, they’ll be strengthening their mathematical thinking and building number confidence.

120 Number Chart Puzzles is ideal for whole-class practice, numeracy rotations, intervention groups or fast finisher tasks. The included challenge options allow you to easily differentiate based on student ability, and the clear visuals make this a great choice for both independent and collaborative learning.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Count forwards and backwards to 120
• ✅ Recognise, order and position numbers on a number chart
• ✅ Understand number patterns, including 1 more/less and 10 more/less
• ✅ Develop spatial awareness through puzzle play
• ✅ Build fluency in place value through interactive tasks

What’s Included:

• Puzzle Game Mats and number puzzle pieces (including a challenge version)
• Giant Number Chart activity with number cards and buildable board
• Find Them All game with 3 differentiated versions

How to Use:

1. Select the activity that best fits your lesson focus or student group.
2. For Puzzle Game Mats, students piece together the 120 chart on top of the mat - use the challenge version for an extra stretch!
3. In Giant Number Chart, students use shuffled cards to collaboratively build a floor or wall-sized number grid.
4. In Find Them All, students flip cards and colour matching numbers based on the chosen variation (exact number, +1/-1, +10/-10).
5. Rotate activities across the week or set up multiple options for choice-based maths rotations.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use the Puzzle Game Mats as a maths warm-up to reinforce number order.
• 💡 Set up Giant Number Chart as a collaborative floor activity during group time.
• 💡 Add Find Them All to your maths centres with a simple card-and-board setup.
• 💡 Create a challenge wall where students complete different puzzle versions and record their time or accuracy.
• 💡 Use laminated versions for repeated practice throughout the term.

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Print all puzzle pieces and game boards on thick cardstock and laminate for longevity.
• 💛 Enlarge Puzzle Game Mats to A3 size for younger learners who need more space to manipulate pieces.
• 💛 Store puzzle sets in labelled ziplock bags or tubs for easy organisation and re-use.
• 💛 Use challenge versions to differentiate or extend early finishers.
