Printable number chart, 1 to 100

The same hundred numbers as the hundred square

This sheet sets the whole numbers from 1 to 100, one to a cell, ten to a row and ten rows deep: one hundred numerals at fifteen point on a single A4 sheet, inside twenty-two ruled lines. Those are the hundred square’s figures exactly, cell for cell and line for line, because at this range and this width the two are the same object under two names.

It is more use to say so than to invent a difference. If what you wanted was something other than a plain ten by ten of 1 to 100, the sheets that genuinely differ are these: the blank version, which is the same frame with no numerals printed in it at all; the primes version, which shades twenty-five of the hundred cells; 1 to 120, which adds two rows underneath; 1 to 50, which is the top five rows only; 1 to 20, which sets five to a row instead of ten; and 1 to 200, which needs two sheets.

Where the two names part company

A hundred square is ten by ten because the name says so. The width is not a choice; a sheet ten cells wide and ten deep is what the words describe, and a different width would need a different name.

A number chart is looser. It is a run of consecutive numbers set into a grid, and the width of that grid is a setting rather than part of the definition. This press sets 1 to 20 five to a row and the rest of its number charts ten to a row, and it runs 1 to 1000 across ten sheets. None of those could be called a hundred square. So the number charts are the larger family, and the hundred square is one member of it: the one that happens to be a hundred numbers, ten to a row.

The geometry that comes with the ten-wide setting is the same on both. A step of one cell to the right adds one, a step of one cell down adds ten, so every column is a run of tens and every number in a column ends in the same digit: 4, 14, 24 and on to 94 in the fourth column, and the ten times table down the right-hand edge.
