Base 10 Blocks make math concepts come alive by providing children with a

manipulative that they can see and touch. By using Base 10 Blocks, students

are better able to understand the relationships between ones, tens, hundreds,

and thousands, which helps build an understanding of place value. Develop

other math skills with Base 10 Blocks such as: building numbers, comparing and

computing numbers, and developing addition, subtraction, multiplication and

division skills.

This giant-sized Magnetic Base 10 Set gives teachers an efﬁcient way to

demonstrate Base 10 concepts. Use these magnetic pieces on any magnetic

receptive surface such as a whiteboard or chalkboard.

Sample Activities:

Zero as Place Holder

Use the magnetic pieces to build a variety of numbers using zero as a place

holder (for example: 407; 80; 250; 900). For each number you build, students

should write the number on a place-value chart, using the zero as needed.

Addition with Regrouping

Teach the method of addition by regrouping.

To add two or more numbers, start by representing

each number with the magnetic Base 10 Blocks.

Set of 131 pieces includes:

• 100 Units (Ones) • 20 Rods (Tens)

• 10 Flats (Hundreds) • 1 Thousand Cube (Thousands)

Put all the cubes from both numbers in the same pile and do this with the rods, flats, and blocks as well. Next, trade any groups of 10 cubes for a rod. Trade any groups of 10 rods for a flat, then trade any groups of 10 flats for a block. To read the sum, count the number of Base 10 Blocks left in each pile and read the number. Transfer to paper by doing each step with manipulatives and showing the representations on paper. Once students have mastered this, have them use paper and pencil only.

Kann auf jeder magnetischen Oberfläche verwendet werden. Beispielaktivitäten: Null als Platzhalter Benutzen Sie die magnetischen Elemente, um eine Vielzahl an Zahlen zu bilden, wobei die Null als Platzhalter verwendet wird (z. B. 407, 80, 250, 900). Jede gebildete Zahl sollen die Schüler mit ihrer Position und ihrem Wert in ein Diagramm eintragen, indem sie die Null je nach Erfordernis verwenden.
