Description
The article discusses how MABs, or Multi-base Arithmetic Blocks, are a great way to introduce and reinforce the concept of trading/exchanging place value in numbers to children. The MABs are perfect for working on student magnetic whiteboards, and are made up of 100 squares each of which are 10 cm square.

Rote learning of numbers does not necessarily introduce the children to the importat structure of our number system, grouping of tens, hundreds, thousands and so on. MAB (Multi-base Arithmetic Blocks) otherwise known as Base 10 materials are one of the most commonly found pieces of equiment in schools.
This powerful visual model is an exellent approach to introducing and reinforcing trading/exchanging of place value in numbers.
