Product Information

Full details

The Learning Resources Grooved Plastic Base 10 Units are designed for primary school students, educators, and parents looking to build foundational mathematical understanding through tactile learning. These units offer a significant benefit by providing a physical, visual representation of place value and base 10 concepts, though users should be aware that the small size of the 1cm cubes requires careful supervision with younger children to prevent loss or choking hazards.

FAQs

What is the size of each individual unit?

Each individual unit is exactly 1cm x 1cm x 1cm.

Are these suitable for preschool children?

They are generally intended for primary school aged children. Due to their small size, they represent a choking hazard and should only be used under supervision with younger kids.

How many units come in the set?

This set includes 100 individual units.

Can I wash these in the dishwasher?

It is recommended to hand wash them in warm, soapy water rather than using a dishwasher, which may warp or damage the small plastic pieces.

Do these come with base 10 rods or flats?

No, this specific set includes only the individual units.

Are they made of safe plastic?

Yes, they are made from durable, classroom-grade plastic designed for educational use.

Troubleshooting

Pieces are getting lost frequently

Use a color-coded storage bin or a mesh bag to keep all 100 units contained after every session.

Students are confused by the size difference with other blocks

Verify that your other manipulatives are standard 1cm base 10 components, as generic blocks may vary in size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for teaching place value and arithmetic
  • Durable, long-lasting plastic material
  • Standardized sizing ensures consistency in mathematical models
  • Engaging for kinesthetic learners

Cons

  • Small size makes them easy to misplace
  • Not suitable for very young children due to choking risk

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These units require no assembly; they are ready for use immediately upon opening the package. They are fully compatible with other standard base 10 manipulative sets that follow the 1cm unit convention, allowing you to expand your collection over time. To maintain the units, store them in a dedicated container or zippered pouch when not in use to avoid losing individual pieces. If the units become dirty, they can be cleaned by wiping them down with a damp cloth or soaking them in warm, soapy water and allowing them to air dry completely.
