Decimal Checker Board in a child's hands
The Decimal Checker Board lets a child aged 6 to 12 work short and long multiplication of whole and decimal numbers on a single grid of 49 squares (7 × 7), coloured in the hierarchical shades of green, blue and red that carry through Nienhuis mathematics materials. The diagonal squares mark each hierarchy from millions down to millionths and separate decimals from whole numbers, so a child places coloured bead bars and number tiles and reads results without losing track of place value. The surface of the board is covered with a printed carpet so that the beads do not move. Made from HDF, beechwood and felt, this AMI Approved material extends the decimal system into multiplication work children continue further along the Faborino shelf. The coloured bead bars and number tiles needed for the exercises are sold separately.
Abstract Mathematical Thinking
Bridges concrete manipulation with abstract decimal system concepts, supporting the transition to higher-level mathematical reasoning.
Place Value Mastery
The colour-coded hierarchies and the diagonal from millions to millionths provide visual and spatial understanding of the hierarchical relationships between numbers.
Multiplication Comprehension
Enables children to physically work through complex multiplication problems, seeing patterns and relationships in the decimal system.
Concentration Development
The systematic grid work requires sustained focus and sequential thinking, building essential executive function skills.
How to present it
3 tips for parents
- Practice skip counting by tens, hundreds, and thousands to prepare for the board's structure
- Play number-building games using playing cards to reinforce place value concepts
- Avoid rushing to abstract multiplication - the physical process builds essential understanding

Frequently Asked Questions
What mathematical concepts does the Decimal Checker Board teach?
It is used for short and long multiplication of whole and decimal numbers. The diagonal squares mark the hierarchies from millions to millionths and separate decimals from whole numbers, so the child sees place value directly on the board.
How does the colour coding work on this board?
The board has 49 squares (7 × 7) in hierarchical shades of green, blue and red. The shades correspond to the hierarchies of numbers and help the child identify place value when calculating.
What age is the Decimal Checker Board made for?
It is made for children aged 6 to 12.
What else do I need to work with the board?
The exercises need coloured bead bars and number tiles. They are sold separately and are not part of the board.
What is the board made of and how is the surface finished?
It is made of HDF, beechwood and felt. The wooden surface is covered with a printed carpet so that the beads do not move.
