Base Two or Binary Blocks for Number Sense
Base-two or binary numbers (rather, numerals) are what computers use to do everything. These blocks are easy to design.
The impact of these blocks depends on the way they are used to communicate and model mathematical practices. Of course, after Base^3, it is physically impossible to use blocks to show the meaning of a base in a positional value number system.
Among the files are (Base =2, unit = 10mm ^ 3):
Please note that in a number (numeral) system other than base-ten, the words, ten, hundred, thousand, are now confusing, although some people do use them. A specific reference such as 2^2 is much clearer.
Unit (2^0=1)
Ten (2^1)
Hundred (2^2)
Thousand (2^3)
Have fun!
