Foam Magnetic Base 10 Set

The Magnetic Foam Base Ten Set is an educational tool designed to help students visualize and understand fundamental math concepts such as place value, addition, subtraction, and more. Each set typically includes color-coded units, rods, flats, and cubes, made from durable foam material with magnetic backing for easy attachment to magnetic surfaces. This design allows for interactive demonstrations and hands-on learning experiences.

The magnetic feature of these foam blocks enhances classroom engagement by enabling educators to model mathematical concepts on whiteboards or other magnetic surfaces. This hands-on approach fosters a deeper understanding of number relationships and operations. For example, combining ten unit blocks forms a rod, illustrating the concept of ten ones equaling one ten. This tactile interaction supports various learning styles and can be particularly beneficial for visual and kinesthetic learners. 

Incorporating Magnetic Foam Base Ten Blocks into your teaching toolkit offers a concrete method for students to grasp complex mathematical ideas. Their durability and ease of use make them a valuable resource for educators aiming to provide an interactive and engaging learning experience. Whether used for demonstrating place value or performing arithmetic operations, these manipulatives are an essential addition to any educational setting.

The set includes 121 grid-lined pieces: 100 single units, ten 10-unit rods, ten 100-unit squares and one 2-dimensional graphic of a 1,000-unit cube. The magnetized foam pieces are easy to grip and place on magnetic white boards. Grades K and up.
