Another great idea from Barbara Child, our math coach.
Here is a great way to organize place value discs and tiles.  We have one student show a number on the place value chart.  We use dice to make a number and another student will make the number using decimal place value strips.          

I help my students understand decimals by having them use base ten blocks (concrete).  This helps them break up 1 whole into tenths and show it on a number line.  It also gives them a deeper understanding of decimals.
