great economical base ten set . I bought these for my kids to help reinforce the base ten concept. I allowed them to just play with them for a couple of days before diving into any real lessons. We have done a lot of "trading" exercises and I can see them really starting to grasp the concept. They have been very helpful.I do, however, see that there could be some problems with these manipulatives. The blocks are not weighted, so some children might have a difficult time understanding that the 1000 cube is ten times more than the 100 flat, since it clearly is hollow and does not weigh anything close to 10 times as much. I think for a truly multisensory experience purchasing a base ten set that is weighted would be helpful. Luckily for us, it has not been an issue, and for the great price I don't think it could be expected.My other criticism is the fact that there is only 1 thousand cube in the set and they are not offered seperately. 3 would have been ideal for me.On another note, these were cheaper for me to buy directly from Assessment Services. The set was $13.50 plus $9.50 shipping (orders over $100 get free shipping). I know that adds up to more than Amazon is offering, but since I needed 3 sets it worked out to be less expensive.
Visual Math manipulative . Great for teaching ten's place and tangible teaching of concepts. Well built and sturdy. Wonderful as a Homeschooling tool as well.
