Base 10 Blocks [|www.learningbox.com/Base10/BaseTen.html]

Base ten blocks are popular in elementary school mathematics instruction. This mathematical concept of manipulating objects is an important technique used in learning basic mathematic principles, paricularly at the early stages of cognitive development. Animated and colorful, with a catchy drum beat at background music, this interactive website offers a reinforcement on learning base mathematical concepts of addition, subtraction, place value, and number sense. This site has three levels, each with animated movement of blocks of 1’s, 10’s, and 100’s. An animated ruler also helps the student count using the blocks. This site is sure to be a positive add-on to the classroom instruction of teaching Base 10.
