200 Rectangular Grid
What is the resource?
This PDF provides a large grid with 200 identical squares arranged in rows and columns. Ideal for learners across primary/early secondary levels.
Why are rectangular grids important?
They have multiple uses as learning tools and appear in countless real-life contexts:
- Area concept: Each square is one unit; this builds an understanding of what 'area' means.
- Multiplication arrays: Grids visualise rows and columns – core to grasping times tables.
- Data organisation: Charts, tables, pixels (even spreadsheets) rely on this arrangement.
- Mapping basics: Reading coordinates on a grid teaches early graphing and directional skills.
Why is this resource helpful?
The simple format opens it up to use in a wide range of learning situations:
- Number exploration: Skip counting, prime hunting... 200 squares offer lots of space!
- Patterning & symmetry: Kids can build designs, investigate reflections, find rules... visually.
- Fraction concepts: Shading rows/columns reveals parts of the whole, comparing pieces clearly.
- Printable PDF: Allows teachers to provide endless individual grids for any level task.
This grid helps link number-based and visual areas of maths. This strengthens conceptual understanding and supports varied problem-solving skills.
Also, have a look at our wide range of worksheets that are specifically curated to help your students practice their skills in fraction. These teaching resources and worksheets are in PDF format and can be downloaded easily.
