Teacher Created Resources Foam Base Ten Hundreds Flats - 10 Blue Flats For Math Manipulatives

About This Product

Teachers and parents, these foam base ten hundreds flats are such a game-changer for helping kids understand math concepts! This set includes 10 blue flats that represent the hundreds place, and when you combine them with ones cubes and tens rods (sold separately), you've got a complete place value system that kids can actually touch and manipulate. The foam material is perfect for classroom use - it's quiet when kids are handling it, durable enough to withstand daily use, and lightweight so little hands can manage it easily. Each flat measures based on 3/8-inch units, making them perfectly proportional to standard base ten blocks. What's amazing is how these simple manipulatives make abstract math concepts so much more concrete for students. Kids can physically see that ten tens rods make one hundreds flat, or break apart the flats to understand subtraction and regrouping. They're fantastic for teaching multiplication and division too - seeing three groups of four hundreds flats makes the concept of 3x400 so much clearer than just numbers on paper. Whether you're working on addition, subtraction, word problems, or just reinforcing place value understanding, these manipulatives engage kids in a way that worksheets just can't match. The bright blue color makes them easy to distinguish from other math tools, and the foam construction means they'll last through years of classroom use without wearing out. They're perfect for math centers, small group instruction, or individual practice. The included activity suggestions give you great ideas for how to incorporate them into your lessons. Seriously, if you want to make math more hands-on and understandable for your students, these base ten hundreds flats are an essential teaching tool that really helps bridge the gap between concrete understanding and abstract mathematical thinking!
