Base Eight Blocks for Number Sense

Base Eight Blocks for Number Sense Base-N blocks, with N equals eight in this case, are often used in primary grades to help children develop number sense. Base-eight numbers play a significant role in computer science because 111 in binary equals seven in octal. These models can be easily created within a three-dimensional design environment. At the request of certain teachers, I am sharing a series of base-N blocks, where N is a natural number. The effectiveness of these blocks depends on how they are used to communicate and model mathematical practices. It's worth noting that after N cubed, it becomes physically impossible to use blocks to demonstrate the meaning of a base in a positional value number system. Among the files provided are base-eight models with each unit measuring 10mm cubed: Please be aware that in a number system other than base-ten, terms like "ten," "hundred," and "thousand" can be confusing. Some individuals still use these words, but specific references such as 8 squared are more clear. Unit (8 to the power of zero equals one) Ten (8 to the power of one) Hundred (8 to the power of two) Thousand (8 to the power of three) Multiples of Unit, Ten, Hundred for batch printing. Have fun!
