Teachables Multi Base Ten Cube - Single Unit

This solid timber base ten cube represents 1000 and is a premium-quality educational tool designed to support numeracy development through tactile and visual learning. Measuring 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm, this single-piece cube is a key component of the base ten system, complementing the units (S900-1), longs (S900-2), and flats (S900-3), each sold separately. It offers a clear, physical representation of the thousands place, making it ideal for teaching large number concepts, number decomposition, and regrouping in a tangible way. The cube can be integrated into both teacher-led instruction and independent exploration, allowing students to model and manipulate complex numbers during maths lessons. With its accurate dimensions and solid construction, the cube also serves well in cross-curricular STEM tasks involving measurement, estimation, or spatial awareness. Learners can investigate how the cube compares in volume to the smaller base ten pieces, supporting a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships and hierarchical structure in the base ten system. Whether used in pattern-building activities, measurement challenges, or as part of creative free play, the base ten cube reinforces essential curriculum outcomes while fostering curiosity and confidence in numeracy learning. Its large, commanding size also makes it ideal for whole-class demonstrations and visual representation of abstract ideas.

Educational Benefits:

• Demonstrates the concept of thousands in the place value system through hands-on learning.
• Supports number decomposition, regrouping, and multi-digit addition/subtraction.
• Encourages exploration of volume, spatial awareness, and mathematical comparison.
• Facilitates transition from concrete to abstract mathematical thinking.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use in demonstrations to show how units, tens, hundreds, and thousands relate in scale.
• Include in a measurement challenge to estimate and calculate volume using smaller blocks.
• Incorporate into a numeracy station for advanced place value tasks and number building.
• Challenge students to create equivalent values using a combination of other base ten pieces.

Information:
