Why is it important to know base ten?

Base 10 blocks are often used in elementary leveled
math to help students grasp number place value.
Base 10 blocks have a cube to represent one, ten
cube strip to represent ten and a 100 cube block to
represent 100.

Expanded Form
Numbers written in expanded for make it easier for you to understand
its place value.

can also be written as 500+40+3 according to the place value

Adding Without a Calculator

Through a method called Lattice Algorithm students can add without

using a calculator
