My kids absolutely love playing Battleship—they can spend hours strategizing and sinking ships! Seeing how much fun they had with the game, I realized it was the perfect opportunity to turn playtime into learning time.
That’s when I decided to create a version using a hundred chart, where they could have just as much fun while practicing their numbers from 1 to 100.
This printable brings together the best of both worlds: it keeps kids entertained and sneaks in some math learning along the way!
