This is the graduation exercise for the basic use of spreadsheets. We combine rules and addressing to have students build their own hundreds table in the fewest steps. There are many ways of doing this and students can be as creative and exploratory as they want. Nor should they feel limited to tables that start at 1 and go to 100. These rules, these patterns should enable them to start anywhere and build any size table they can imagine. We strongly encourage students to stretch their minds here and to think outside of this box.

Hundreds Table Patterns
We introduce students to more complex patterns and rules in hundreds tables. In particular, we have students look at diagonal patterns and develop rules to fill them. This spreadsheet hundreds table practice is designed to build numbersense, the primary building block for a strong math education. We encourage students and teachers to develop more spreadsheets like these to exercise and develop numbersense.
