Here is a 100 square. Look at the patterns on it.
The first row has the numbers 1 to 10.
The second row has the numbers 11 to 20 etc.

Let's look at how to find the answers.
A and B are on the top row, which is the ones counting along from 1 to 10, so for these ones we can just carefully count along the top with our finger.
1, 2, 3, 4 and then our finger is on A. This means that A = 4.
Let's continue counting along from A to find B.
5, 6, 7, 8, and then our finger is on B. This means that B = 8
To find C, we can continue counting along until we get to the box above C, this is 10. Now we can jump down a row.
When we jump down a row we add on 10. So if we are on 10 and jump down one row, we add on 10.
10 + 10 = 20
Follow the red below to see how we jumped to C:
To find D, count along the top row to where 3 would be and then jump down adding on 10 each time until we reach D.
This means D will be 63.
Here's how we jumped along:
Finally, let's find E. We need to count along the top row to 5 (until we are above where E is), then we count down to E, adding on 10 each time:
Wow, that's a lot of work to do! Do you feel ready to have a go at hunting the correct number?
