_howToUse
1. Show the Number – Call a number; learners build it with ones and tens. Develops place value identification. 2. Trade Ten Ones – When ten ones are collected, swap for one ten. Builds regrouping. 3. Add with Carry – Model addition that requires regrouping ten ones into a ten. Strengthens addition with carrying. 4. Subtract with Borrow – Model subtraction that requires breaking a ten. Develops subtraction with borrowing. 5. Make Arrays – Use ones to model 3×4 as a rectangular array. Introduces early multiplication. Product Details
"Dienes Block – Foam
DESCRIPTION
Made from soft, lightweight foam for safe and tactile maths exploration, this Dienes Block set includes 20 ones, 20 tens, and 1 hundred block to represent Base-10 place value concepts. It strengthens number sense and supports addition, subtraction, and early multiplication and division through hands-on manipulation. Suitable for PP1 to G2 learners building foundational understanding of place value and operations.
AGE GROUP
Nursery (PP1) | LKG (PP2) | UKG (PP3) | Grade 1 | Grade 2 | Ages 3–8
SKILLS DEVELOPED
One-to-one correspondence, Counting and cardinality (units, rods, flats), Number composition and decomposition, Place value identification (ones, tens, hundreds), Regrouping and exchange (carrying and borrowing), Addition and subtraction (visual manipulation), Early multiplication (repeated addition / arrays), Early division (fair sharing / grouping), Fine motor manipulation, Visual discrimination of magnitude, Mental visualization, Problem solving
EDUCATIONAL FOCUS
Anchors the base-ten numeration system through tactile manipulation — moving learners from concrete units to abstract place value with the unitising principle that 10 ones make 1 ten.
HOW TO USE
1. Show the Number – Call a number; learners build it with ones and tens. Develops place value identification.
2. Trade Ten Ones – When ten ones are collected, swap for one ten. Builds regrouping.
3. Add with Carry – Model addition that requires regrouping ten ones into a ten. Strengthens addition with carrying.
4. Subtract with Borrow – Model subtraction that requires breaking a ten. Develops subtraction with borrowing.
5. Make Arrays – Use ones to model 3×4 as a rectangular array. Introduces early multiplication.
