This video explores how the hundred chart can be used to help students recognize number patterns and develop early place value understanding. It focuses on using the chart to build fluency with concepts like 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, and 10 less, as well as recognizing patterns in skip-counting by 5s and 10s. By engaging with the structure of the chart, students begin to notice predictable patterns and relationships among numbers.
