Base Eight Blocks for Number Sense

Base Eight Blocks for Number Sense Base-8 or octal numbers are crucial in computer science due to their tight connection with the binary system. For instance, 111 (bin) equals 7 (oct). Base-8 blocks can be easily created in a 3D design environment. The effect of these blocks depends on how they're used to communicate and model mathematical practices. Of course, after N^3, it's physically impossible to use blocks to show the meaning of a base in a positional value number system. Among the files are (Base =8, unit = 10mm ^ 3): Please note that in a number system other than base-ten, words like ten, hundred, thousand can be confusing, although some people still use them. A specific reference such as 8^2 is much clearer. 1. Unit (8^0=1) 2. Ten (8^1) 3. Hundred (8^2) 4. Thousand (8^3) + A different design that saves filament. 5. Multiples of Unit, Ten, Hundred for batch printing. Have fun!
