Using this MAB Block Decimal and Place Value Chart 

To use this MAB block decimal and place value chart, follow these simple steps!

1. Download the resource in the format of your choice.
2. Print a copy of the decimal MAB blocks place value chart for each of your students. We recommend printing on cardboard and then laminating for longevity.
3. Give students a supply of MAB blocks or our MAB Block Picture Cards.
4. Model representing different decimals by placing the correct number of MAB blocks or cards in each place value. For example, to model 0.31, you would place three ‘flats’ in the box in the tenths place and one ‘stick’ in the hundredths place.
5. Give students some decimals to represent. Ask them to model the decimal in the first row, and then write the decimal in the second row.
