MAB Base 10 - Wooden Longs (Set of 100)

The "MAB Base 10 - Wooden Longs (100)" plays a crucial role in the base ten block system, designed to visually and tangibly enhance mathematical understanding. Each 'Long' represents ten units, integrating seamlessly with units, flats, and cubes to demonstrate place value, addition, subtraction, and the basics of number sense in a clear, accessible manner.

These Longs are crafted from smooth, tactile wood, making them safe and suitable for young learners. Each piece is marked with indents at regular intervals to illustrate that it is composed of ten equal parts, though the pieces are fused together to maintain structural integrity. The uniform size, shape, and colour of all 100 pieces ensure consistency in use.

MAB systems are invaluable for making complex mathematical concepts more approachable. Handling these physical objects allows children to engage actively with challenging topics, helping them to visualize and understand abstract ideas through practical interaction.

This ample supply of 100 Longs is ideal for classroom use, enabling distribution among students for both individual and group activities.

The full kit includes:

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

These dimensions and the design of the Longs make them perfect tools for facilitating a deep understanding of fundamental mathematical principles in an educational setting.
