Great for place value
We use these for homeschool math and it really helps to illustrate place value for our kids.

These place value blocks are what my granddaughter's school uses so I purchased them to help her continue her math education at home. They line up perfectly so your child knows when he or she reaches ten ones and needs to start another row, which is really helpful, and they are very sturdy. I think they do, indeed, help with the concepts of math although I am more familiar with the Rekenrek. Both products instill a confidence in my granddaughter to do her math homework, which is what I want. Great product!

Too Small
The item is exactly what I wanted but it is way too small to use on the chalkboard in the front on my classroom. It' s difficult for those in the back to see.

Great product. Terrible storage.
Love this math tool! It's great.
Big con: its packed so tight in the container that either only a grown-up can put it away, (with a degree of frustration) or you have to find, and pay for a new container that actually fits it. Its pretty frustrating, and results in always spilling out and losing pieces.

Perfect for Hands-on Learning
Great quality. Love that it has a storage bin. The blocks are thick hard plastic. Not flimsy or thin. Definitely not cheap. Theyre a perfect addition to our homeschool.

Exactly as described
Good for helping kids to better understand place value, my favorite part is the fact that everything lines up size-wise: ten single blocks are EXACTLY the same size as a 10-block. Other sets are not quire that good.

Great for explaining!
Very basic and the bold colors really help to distinguish each value. Kids loved them and had fund with the hands on activities.

AWESOME TO LEARN REGROUPING
My little guy has struggled with math and regrouping. These blocks make math visually common sense. I highly suggest these.

I love how this set is colored coded. While these place value blocks are great for addition/subtraction the color coded blocks also make them the perfect choice for teaching the area model of addition.

must have
This is a great place value set. I like that the blocks are color coded, BUT there are never enough ones! I would love to order the ones cubes on their own.
