Brighten up your classroom and build strong number sense with our Place Value & Decimals Display – Good Vibes Spots. This cheerful and structured display helps students visualise how numbers increase and decrease in size, while reinforcing their understanding of both whole and decimal place values. Featuring playful spots and pastel tones, it brings a fresh, uplifting vibe to your maths wall!

This resource supports student learning of place value from millions through to thousandths. By clearly laying out each position, students are able to refer to the display as they build, read and deconstruct numbers. It’s ideal for whole-class lessons, numeracy rotations or independent activities that involve reading, writing or comparing numbers.

Designed to complement any bright and modern classroom, this display is both functional and fun. Use it to engage students with daily maths warm-ups, hands-on games, or number-focused discussions. With its positive energy and student-friendly layout, this display becomes a reliable reference tool for numeracy across the year.
