Sturdy well-made and great for the visual learner . I homeschool my children. My 7yo was having a hard time understanding why borrowing/regrouping works but this made it "click" within 10 minutes, so much so that he can do many problems in his head now. I can think of many other concepts where these will be helpful and plan to get many years of use from these (he is the oldest of 5). Wish I'd gotten them 2 years ago. Our former math curriculum used dimes and pennies to teach place value but these manipulatives are much more intuitive.

Learning Resources Plastic Base Ten Starter Kit (LER0930) Reviews
Base ten Starter Set Plastic Blue . It's a great educational product. My only two complaints are the packaging and the activity guide. I thought it was going to include some kind of storage case, but it didn't. It just came in plastic bags. I'll just keep it in the cardboard box it came in, for now. The activity guide is one sheet of paper folded in half with few suggestions. I confused activity guide with activity book so I was disappointed when I saw the guide and not the book. Beside those two complaints, this product is great and I'm glad I made the purchase.

great product! . This base 10 kit has enough of all the pieces (units, rods, flats) to accomodate all the teaching and learning needs of addition/subtraction and other areas of math like perimeter and area. Quick shipping too!

Great product! . This is a great way for kids to be able to visualize numbers when learning math.
Great Base-10 blocks . These are durable base ten blocks that have become a lifesaver for teaching my child how to add and subtract. It comes with a workbook that I haven't needed to use yet, but it looks interesting. The box provided also does a great job holding the blocks when they are in storage. I highly recommend these base ten blocks!
Great! . This is the best price I could find "new" and we are glad we made the purchase. My three-year-old likes to build with them and my daughter (age 7) uses them with our math curriculum. You can find many free resources on the Net to use the blocks/system. Recommended.
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).
empty promises . The product description was misleading. First of all the included activity book supposedly covers 1-6 grade operations, but the revised version that came with our set only covers grades 3-6. We could have used more simplified operations that focused more on number concepts and relatedness. In the same vein, the 1000 unit cube isn't made of solid plastic like the other pieces in the set. This has caused some confusion when drawing comparisons between the different units...why would the thousand unit piece have the same weight as a 100 unit piece. Will be trying to contact Learning Resources to see if there's a replacement option for the book...would welcome suggestions on how to fix the empty thousands box...maybe we'll just switch to the solid wood option.
