| Provenance/History |
A Hundreds Board is a simple 10 x 10 grid displaying the numerals 1-100. It could be used to illustrate and teach such important topics as counting, place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, multiples and factoring and patterns. Hundreds boards were used in sighted classrooms for years prior to the development of the tactile APH version for students with vision loss. The user guide was written by Eleanor Pestor. |
