Foreword<br />

<strong>Number</strong> grids are a cheap and versatile teaching aid that may be used:<br />

• to develop number skills;<br />

• as a means of examining number patterns; and<br />

• as a source of investigation.<br />

The majority of activities in <strong>Number</strong> <strong>Grids</strong> are based on the 1–100 number grid.<br />

Many commercial number grids are based on the 1–100 number grid and the activities<br />

in this book may be used in conjunction with these products. It should be noted, however, that the<br />

activities may be used with other number grids such as the 0–99 number grid. Different number grids may<br />

be used to extend the activities contained in this book. Section 1 contains a variety of different grids that<br />

may be used for this purpose. Instructions are provided so that teachers and, better still, students can make<br />

their own number grids.<br />

<strong>Number</strong> grids may be used on a regular basis to assist in the development of mental computation skills. The<br />

possible uses of number grids are unlimited if the students are given the chance to explore.<br />

Dedicated to Geoff White who suggested many improvements to the manuscript and helped me to think<br />
