Base Ten Blocks - Addition Intro

This math unit begins with developing a foundational understanding of place values using base 10 blocks to recognize and construct numbers in hundreds and tens visually. As students progress, they work on transforming these visual representations into numerical and word forms, moving from simple counting to detailed descriptions in hundreds, tens, and ones. The unit advances into the realm of addition, starting with adding numbers without carry-overs in the tens and ones places and progressing to more complex problems that include carrying over within these smaller units. The difficulty and scope of addition then expand to include hundreds and tens, ultimately reaching into adding thousands and hundreds, both with and without carry-overs. By the end of the unit, students are expected to be adept at visually interpreting, calculating, and solving addition problems using base 10 blocks across a range of place values, solidifying their understanding of arithmetic operations and place value systems.
