Instructional Ideas

• Enhance the learning experience—offer pupils actual base 10 blocks for a more tactile approach
• Assign question five on a classroom blog, direct pupils to respond to the post and reply to at least one peer 
• Send the link home to offer class members extra practice outside of school 

Classroom Considerations

• Pupils should be familiar with decimals, mixed numbers, and manipulating base 10 blocks 
• The model needs to be reset between questions
• Create a free CK-12 account to access the interactive 

Pros

• Blocks are different colors to signify different quantities 
• Provides instant feedback after responses are chosen
• Offers additional information about the concept and hints to solve problems 

Cons

• The tool is not helpful for most of the questions
