MAB Base 10 - Plastic Longs (Set of 100)

The "MAB Base 10 - Plastic Longs (100)" plays a key role in the base ten block system, representing the 'ten place'. Each Long is formed by ten single units, and ten Longs together create one 'flat'. This setup provides a straightforward way to demonstrate place value and can also be used to teach addition, subtraction, counting, and fundamental number sense through multiples of ten.

These Longs are produced in a bright orange colour, crafted from smooth plastic that is easy to clean and designed to withstand frequent classroom use. Each Long features indents at regular intervals to visually represent that it consists of ten equal parts. The Longs are permanently fused, maintaining their structural integrity and uniformity in size, shape, and colour across all 100 pieces provided.

Providing children with tactile resources like these Longs allows them to visually and physically grasp the relationships between units, enhancing their understanding of mathematical concepts. Manipulating these pieces aids not only in cognitive learning but also helps develop fine motor skills.

A set of 100 Longs is ideally suited for classroom use, ensuring ample resources are available for students to work individually or in small groups.

The full package includes:

• 100x MAB Plastic Longs, each measuring L 100mm x W 10mm x H 10mm.

This set is an invaluable resource for any educational environment, enabling interactive learning and practical application of mathematical principles.
