The decimal fraction cards are designed for 6-12-year-old children to solve complex mathematical operations.
What are Montessori Decimal Cards?
It is a printable material consists of four cards representing the different categories of numbers in the ‘base ten’ or decimal system.
- The smallest numbers, 1 – 9, are ‘unit cards’, and are green in color.
- The numbers 1 to 9 by tens are printed in blue,

0.1 = one-tenth
0.01 = one hundredth
0.001 = one thousandth
and so on
Decimal Number Cards shall be used along with a decimal fraction board to learn more mathematical operations.
Benefits of Decimal Number Cards
- It helps to understand the hierarchies of numbers
- It helps to understand linear counting
- It is helpful in decimal system operation
