Four colour base ten blocks in a storage container
EDX Education Plastic Base Ten 4 Colour set, EDX code 10510C, includes 100 cubes, 10 rods, 10 flats and 1 block, packaged in a plastic container.
The distributor, Educational Vantage, explains that the four colours help emphasise the base ten nature of the number system. The colours let students and teachers refer to pieces by colour when they describe what they are doing. This version comes packaged in a plastic container, while code 10510 is the same set in a box.
The 100 cubes, 10 rods, 10 flats and 1 block give students hands-on pieces for regrouping, trading and building numbers. Teachers can give colour based instructions, such as add two rods, without confusion. The container keeps the 121 pieces together between lessons.
The container version keeps every cube, rod, flat and block in one place. Explore more from the EDX Education range, build a place value kit from maths equipment, add educational teacher supplies, or keep pieces sorted with classroom organisation.
