What Are Base Ten Blocks Used For?

Place value is a basic concept, and Base Ten Blocks let children hold it. Ten units equal one rod and ten rods equal one flat, so exchanging pieces shows exactly what carrying and borrowing mean in addition and subtraction. Multiplication can be built as arrays of rods and units, and division as sharing blocks into equal groups.

The same pieces serve mensuration lessons on area and volume, and decimals can be modelled by agreeing that a larger piece stands for one whole. Children learn faster and remember longer after concrete experiences, which is why this school lab equipment for primary maths suits regular, hands-on practice.

What to Specify When Ordering
