BB has got to that bit of maths where a strong knowledge of hundreds, tens and units needs to be consolidated. SB seemed to race through this stage, and although we heard lots of friends being v positive about base ten blocks, we just didn’t need them.
BB is a very different girl tho, and things visual really suit her, so as well as just doing lots of work on numbers and their placements into HTU, DH has bought some baseten blocks and uses this regularly with her maths. She really likes them, not only for helping visualise the maths, but playing number games. All in the name of consolidation 
. SO here as a recommendation [completely not a sponsored blog, just a happy home-edder blog]
