Benefits for All Learners
Supports Development
The Connecting Base Ten Set helps children develop a clear understanding of place value and how numbers are composed. Physically manipulating the pieces makes mathematical relationships more concrete, supporting number sense, reasoning, problem-solving and confidence with calculations.
Inclusive Design
The combination of colour, size and tactile manipulation provides multiple ways to explore numerical concepts. Children can physically build numbers and see how ones combine to make tens, hundreds and thousands, making abstract ideas more accessible for learners who benefit from practical and visual teaching approaches, including children with additional educational needs.
Encourages Social Learning
The set is ideal for paired and group maths activities. Children can work together to build numbers, solve calculation challenges and explain how different pieces represent numerical values. This encourages communication, mathematical vocabulary, collaboration and confidence.
