Students can explore with the blocks to try and figure these values out. The empty liter cube is the same size as the large block and 10 flats can be inserted into it. This will make it possible for students to see that 1 flat equals one tenth. On the dividing line between the One and tenths column, draw a decimal. Mount on poster board and laminate.
Students roll to determine who goes first.
Next player goes, and so on. Or, every student could write their number on a sheet of paper and hold it up. Questions students about the decimal numbers. If some do not, dictate a decimal number for them to write. Have students, either as a whole group or in several small groups, come to a designated area of the room with their decimal number.
