Description
The passage discusses how children learn numbers, and how using Multi-base Arithmetic Blocks (Mab) can be an effective way of teaching and reinforcing place value. The Mab is a cube that measures 10x10x10cm.

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.
