Digital Base Ten Blocks Activities with Decimals

These activities were designed to engage students in meaningful play with base ten blocks digitally. They are meant to build and challenge students’ understanding of the base-ten number system with decimals, while also encouraging creative thinking. These three activities are both engaging and rigorous.

Each of the activities in this resource can be used with Google Classroom and other learning management systems. They can also be downloaded as PowerPoints and assigned to students that way.

Take a look at the preview video to get a sneak peek of these activities. Note that the pattern block examples are not part of this resource.
