Base ten blocks are manipulatives used to represent numbers visually. They consist of units (ones), rods (tens), flats (hundreds), and cubes (thousands). By manipulating these blocks, students can better grasp the concept of place value by seeing how each digit represents a different quantity.

Understanding place value is crucial because it forms the foundation for all mathematical operations. It helps students comprehend how numbers work together and allows them to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division accurately. Without a strong grasp of place value, students may struggle with more complex math concepts.

A place value chart is a visual tool that helps students understand the value of each digit in a number. By using counters to represent numbers on the chart, students can see how the position of a digit affects its value. This visual representation enhances their understanding of place value and makes it easier to read and write numbers.
