French Numbers 1–100 Learning Poster
Learn the pattern, not 100 separate words.
A beautifully designed 18 × 24 inch visual reference that helps learners understand how French numbers are built—from un to cent.

A note from the designer
Made because I couldn’t find the one I needed.
I originally designed this poster while looking for a better way to teach French numbers to my own child. I found plenty of charts that listed the answers, but very few that explained the system behind them.
French numbers become much easier once learners can see the patterns—why 70 works like 60 + 10, why 80 is built around 4 × 20, and how the structure changes again in the 90s.
So I designed a poster that makes those relationships visible at a glance.
100 Numbers. One Beautiful System.
A reference that explains
Not just a number chart.
Every Number Decoded
Each number includes its French spelling and numerical construction.
Patterns Made Visible
Colour-coded families help learners recognize repeated structures. This is Avenoir’s visual teaching system.
Key Rules Built In
Important French-number conventions are explained directly on the poster.
Read a number. Understand its structure.
Four layers of learning in every number
Each card connects the number you see to the words you say—and the pattern that makes it make sense.
- Number
- French spelling
- Number construction
- Pattern family

The moment it clicks
The numbers learners usually struggle with become patterns.

Avenoir’s visual teaching system
Colour reveals the structure.
The poster uses six visual families to make recurring number patterns easier to spot. Instead of seeing 100 unrelated entries, learners begin to recognize groups that behave in similar ways.
Core number words
The “et” pattern
The 70s pattern
The 80s pattern
The 90s pattern
The tens
These are design-led teaching families, not official linguistic categories. Some patterns overlap: 71, for example, uses “et” within the 70s.
Small details. Clear explanations.
Three rules that explain the exceptions
When French uses “et”
21 = vingt et un
71 = soixante et onze
81 = quatre-vingt-un
71 = soixante et onze
81 = quatre-vingt-un
Use “et” for 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, and 71. There is no “et” in 81 or 91.
How the 70–99 system is built
70 = 60 + 10
80 = 4 × 20
90 = 4 × 20 + 10
80 = 4 × 20
90 = 4 × 20 + 10
Seeing the smaller pieces makes the larger number easier to understand and remember.
When vingt takes an S
80 = quatre-vingts
81 = quatre-vingt-un
81 = quatre-vingt-un
In quatre-vingts, multiplied vingt takes the plural “s” when it ends the number. It loses the “s” when another numeral follows.
Considered down to the details
Designed to teach.
Made to live on the wall.
Most educational number charts are designed like classroom supplies. This one was designed as something families and teachers would actually want to frame.
A restrained colour palette, fine typography, clear hierarchy, and elegant visual references bring a sense of order to bedrooms, study spaces, classrooms, tutoring spaces, and home-learning areas.
