Paint the Squares

Paint the Squares Number Charts is an interactive way to explore number patterns such as odd and even numbers, counting in multiples from times tables and ten more and ten less. We have added more paint options such as splats and also extra grids which include negative numbers and decimals. The resource is designed primarily for use on interactive whiteboards.

There are various sized grids, all of which are configurable. The largest goes up to 120. Squares can be painted by clicking on the squares and numbers can be hidden either individually or completely. The start number can be varied and the whole grid flipped to present the numbers differently if required. There are puzzles on all the grids and these offer varying degrees of challenge. Their purpose is to promote understanding of number series.
