This math unit revolves around using Base 10 blocks to understand and reinforce counting and place value concepts, specifically focusing on tens, hundreds, and ones. Initially, students practice with tens and ones, interpreting pictorial representations of blocks into numerical values, and progressively enhance their ability to visually and numerically translate these representations. The exercises challenge students to count blocks and determine quantities in different formats, moving from pictures to numbers and words. As the unit progresses, the focus shifts from just tens and ones to include hundreds. Exercises evolve to require students to analyze and compute block quantities representing higher number ranges—up to hundreds—and convert them into both numerical and word formats. This gradual progression from simpler to more complex number structures helps to solidify the students' understanding of the decimal system, improving their number sense and ability to calculate and express quantities effectively. Through continuous practice, students build a strong foundation in recognizing and understanding the composition and structure of numbers within the base ten system.
