Brighten up your classroom and reinforce key numeracy concepts with the MAB Place Value Posters Tropical set. These eye-catching posters feature base ten (MAB) blocks to visually represent numbers and support early learners in developing a strong understanding of place value. With a fresh tropical design, these posters bring clarity and colour to your maths display walls.
