100 moments. 100 stickers. One summer that actually counts.
The Problem
Summer is a great opportunity to relax, play and spend time in nature.
But when numbers fade into the background, the connections children are just beginning to build quietly fade. Not dramatically. Just enough that September feels harder than it should.
No one is asking them to notice. To guess. To wonder.
The Solution
100square is a kit that brings numbers back into the foreground — quickly, quietly, playfully, without it feeling like school. A poster, an app and 100 stickers that turn small moments into visible connections — patterns your child discovers and your family can see growing all summer.
Why It Works
Learning numbers isn't just counting. The first hundred numbers contain patterns and structures that most children never get the time to notice — relationships between numbers that make the whole system feel, eventually, intuitive rather than memorised.
100squares creates the conditions for those patterns to become visible. Not through lessons. Through small, repeated encounters. The kind that leave something behind, the way a detail noticed in a story comes back to mind later.
Your job isn't to explain. It's to be there when something gets noticed.
How It Works
-
1
Set your learning moments
Tell the app when moments work for your family. It handles the rest — sending alerts at the right time, with a snooze for when life gets in the way.
-
2
Your child recognises a number
The app sends a short challenge — a pattern that fades before your child's eyes. They say what number they think it is. No pressure. Just a moment of thinking. Build the number physically, like Lego, with the special blocks if helpful.
-
3
Get it right enough times - earn a sticker
When your child has shown they know a number, they earn the sticker for it. They get to know the number more deeply by recognising how it's built (and by physically building it)
-
4
Place the sticker on the poster
The hundred square on your wall fills gradually over the summer. Watch the patterns begin to appear.
-
5
The poster sparks the conversations
It stays in the foreground because it's being built. Numbers get noticed, compared, questioned. That's the learning — happening naturally, without anyone planning it.
Does It Actually Work?
Is This Right For My Child?
100square is designed for children who are beginning to make sense of numbers — but find it a struggle.
You might notice your child:
- Needs prompting to work out even single digit additions
- Uses fingers to add
- Can count to 20 or beyond but not reliably
- Muddles the order of numbers — confusing 14 and 41, or not sure whether 16 comes before or after 19.
If that sounds familiar, your child is at exactly the right moment for 100squares. What they need isn't more lessons — it's gentle, repeated encounters with numbers in a low-pressure setting. That's what 100squares is designed to give them. Not just this summer, but as a foundation that lasts.
