Learning Resources Grooved Plastic Base Ten Starter Set

Good quality set that helps make things clearer for visual thinkers. Would recommend. Comes with an activity book but seems a little advanced for my six year old sons level at the moment

Use these to teach maths. Great to help understand quantities, numbers, place value, 4 rules etc.etc. I would say invaluable to make numbers secure in early years and useful for so many concepts. No gimics or fancy stuff just does what it says on the box, and a whole lot more. Great!!

Good value for money and easy to carry. My child who is 7, has special needs and this kit helps her visualise and carry out basic additions and subtractions easily. We still need to explore it further but so far it's been very useful. The unit block are very small so one needs to be careful with younger children.

Maybe I didn't read the description properly but I was surprised to find a really good activity book in the box too. It has the odd, American reference in there (eg dollars) but that's easy to work around. They seem good quality and we're well packaged.

It is good to see that some things are still around after 25 years and are still being used as learning aids. I recall using the wooden version of these in primary school, firstly to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division and secondly as a building tool. Now I have bought these for my kids to help them with their mathematics. It is definitely a great help as it helps them to visualise what they are calculating. Some ideas: - addition using units - counting 10's using the base 10 - expressing 4 digit numbers using base 1000, 100, 10 and units

Opened this to teach a place value lesson only to find that the box had nonteb rids only hundred flats. Had to use cubes instead. Very disappointed that contents were missing and now have the hassle of returning and having to wait for resources I urgently need.

Amazing product which shall be used for many years, some many ways to use them and kids respond to the understanding so much quicker and are more able to understand the principle of adding and subtraction. The book was an added bonus with lots of new teaching ideas, shame its set up in dollars though.

My Son's Maths Tutor recommended that we purchase a set of these to aid with my Son's Maths learning. He is in year 3 primary. It would have been useful to have the hundreds, tens and units in different colours like some others I have seen.

This was as great kit. I had two cubes purchased from School Smart, and I like the quality of the Learning Resources items better. I purchased the kit to help my Kindergartner with numbers and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Activity Book that was included for Grades 3-6. The flats, rods, and units came individually packaged inside the box. Our box of units was ripped, and we were missing one unit. Not a huge deal, but I'll be contacting the seller to see if they can send another one. The box itself is able to hold all of the items included, plus two additional cubes and still be closed. It's a heavy duty box, so we'll be able to use it to store everything away nicely when not in use. It was definitely worth the money! Update: I contacted Learning Resources Customer Service about the missing unit. I could have returned the whole product to Amazon, but I didn't want to mess with returning a large box when I was only missing a tiny piece. Customer Service was fantastic! They didn't have the blue units as a replacement piece, but offered to send me ten yellow ones if I didn't care about the color. I didn't mind having a different color if it meant I didn't have to deal with a return. I highly recommend this product and the company.

Great quality! Excellent learning resource! So good for hands-on learning.

Produit conforme à la description et aux attentes

Exactly like I imagined it would be. Perfect for maths, great quality.

lightweight plastic. seems sturdy. unweighted. each smallest cube about 1cm x 1cm. thus using this as a unit you get. 100 x 1 unit 50 x 10 unit (as a bar) 10 x 100 unit (as a square) 1 x 1000 unit (as a cube) workbook has some problems to solve using the book. leveled grade 3-6. I find this better for just playing around and explaining math problems that we encounter at school. My daughter says these are the same blocks she uses at school to learn math concepts. This allows the introduction of concepts of multiplication by 10's. highly recommend at least 1 set.
