100 Square

An excellent way of enhancing any plain tarmac playground is to add exciting and colourful graphics. Our range of thermoplastic playground markings are an essential addition for any outdoor play area. Our attractive, colourful 100 Square is a fun way to encourage individual children, a group or even a whole class of children to play active games at playtimes, developing their ability to give and follow instructions, to recognise the numbers from 1-100 and reinforce their positioning, order and reinforcing their understanding of place value.

Children can work collaboratively to jump onto a number shouted out by a friend, a fun maths activity that also reinforces social skills such as taking turns and cooperation. Learners can travel forwards and back, up and down the rows and columns of the 100 Square whilst reciting the numbers as well as jumping on numbers in a calculation.  This giant, outdoor 100 square is a fantastic way to reinforce the patterns within number and a way to solve calculations using physical activity.

Physical involvement, helps to internalise the maths, so pupils can draw upon their physical actions, through memory recall. It’s so simple to add on 10, by jumping down a column, or add on 5 by travelling forwards along a line. Or how easy is it for children to calculate multiplication number sentences, by jumping on 4 spaces, 5 times, to solve 5×4 or 5 lots of 4.

A 100 Square is a staple for supporting maths learning and its mathematical uses are limitless…so what could be better than an outdoors, large scale format, that children can jump along to solve number problems and help them on their journey to achieve maths mastery?
