Base Ten establish concepts related to the base ten number system. Each component is a
multiple of the next larger component by a factor of 10. Use these blocks to help students
understand place value in written numerals, make models of all operations with whole
numbers and decimals, and demonstrate geometric concepts of area, volume, and metric
measurement. The following examples show some effective ways to use the blocks
in your classroom.
Place Value
To reinforce place value, have students try to solve the following example problems
Example:
"Build a tower using one cube, 11 flats, 15 rods, and 13 units. Now, build a same-size tower
using as few pieces as possible." Instruct students to regroup ten smaller pieces for one
piece of the next size: 2 cubes, 2 flats, 6 rods, 3 units.
After solving the example problem, students should build and record base ten numerals,
such as the following example:
1358 may be expressed as:
Students should also have an understanding of
the following equivalences:
10 units are equivalent to 1 rod
10 rods are equivalent to 1 flat
10 flats are equivalent to 1 cube
