Base ten blocks are a teaching manipulative used in mathematics to help students understand place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The blocks are typically made up of three types of shapes: 1. **Unit cubes**: These represent single units (1s). They are small cubes that can be stacked to show numbers. 2. **Rods (or sticks)**: These represent tens (10s). They are long, thin rectangles that are composed of ten unit cubes stuck together.
