![]() We have a printable place value chart for teaching place value using base ten blocks to work along with all of these examples. There are ‘7’ unit blocks, ‘0’ tens rods and ‘6’ hundred flats. What number is drawn using the Dienes base ten blocks shown? Looking at the digits from right to left, 890 contains ‘0’ unit blocks, ‘9’ tens rods and ‘8’ hundred flats. We will now try drawing the number 890 using place value blocks. There are 4 hundred flats, 2 ten rods and 8 unit cubes. Here is another example of modelling a number using Dienes bas ten blocks. The number represented by these base ten blocks is 235. In the units / ones column we have 5 blocks. We count the number of MAB blocks in each place value column. What is the 3-digit number represented by this set of base ten blocks? We will now look at some examples of drawing and modelling numbers that are built from more than one type of base ten block. We write a zero in the other columns because there is nothing in them. We can write this number with a 7 in the hundreds column because there are 7 separate Dienes blocks in the hundreds column. What is the value of the MAB base ten blocks shown in the following place value chart? We pick up 5 of the hundred flats.ĥ hundred flat Dienes blocks are worth 500. We need ‘0’ units, ‘0’ tens but ‘5’ hundreds. Looking at the digits from right to left, we have ‘0’, ‘0’ and ‘5’. We will now try drawing numbers with base ten blocks. Here are some Dienes rod blocks drawn on a place value chart. We have 3 ten rods drawn as base ten blocks. Here are some examples of numbers drawn in base ten blocks for you to work out the value of. We have 40 represented with the base ten blocks. There are no blocks in the units column and so we put a ‘0’. The number drawn in the image above contains 4 rods in the tens column. The rods are worth ten and so they belong in the tens column. We put the Dienes blocks onto a blank place value chart. Which number is represented by the base ten block image example below? Here is an example of drawing the number 6 with base ten blocks. Units are the smallest value of the Dienes blocks and we put these three blocks in the units column of the place value chart. Here are some unit cube MAB blocks used to represent the first few counting numbers. ![]() When teaching base ten place value, it is best to start with the units column and work through the columns looking at larger and larger numbers. The number of each types of base ten block is the same as the digits of the number being represented. How to use Base 10 Blocks to Represent, Model and Build Numbersīase ten MAB blocks can be used to represent numbers by placing them in groups onto a blank place value chart. This helps children to build a stronger understanding of the regrouping process which is used in addition and subtraction. MAB base ten blocks allow children to see how ten unit blocks in the units column can be replaced with one ten rod, which we can then move into the tens column. The advantage of Dienes blocks is that they can easily represent larger numbers when compared to other manipulatives such as counters. Base ten Dienes blocks are a physical manipulative that children can used to build and represent numbers. We could also say that the value of each place value column is ten times smaller than the one to its left.īase 10 blocks are a useful way to enable children to visualise numbers and to see how they relate to each other in our number system. The value of each place value column is ten times greater than the one to its right. This means that each place value column works in groups of ten. ![]() This system is called the base ten system because the numbers are built from 10 different digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0. This is the MAB base ten block with the largest value.īelow is a printable teaching poster that may be useful for teaching the Dienes block values.ĭienes blocks (or MAB blocks) are also called base 10 blocks because they follow our number and place value system. Ten flats can be joined together to make a cube block. ![]() Ten rows of these rods can be joined together to make a flat sheet of 100 unit cubes. The smallest value is one cube unit block, which is worth 1.Ī row of ten unit cubes are joined together to make a rod. There are four types of base ten blocks, which are called the unit block, the rod, the flat and the cube block. Base ten blocks are also known as Dienes blocks, Multibase Arithmetic Blocks (MAB Blocks for short) and Place Value blocks.īase 10 blocks are objects that are used to represent Units (Ones), Tens, Hundreds and Thousands. ![]()
