Base Ten Tile Set

Make place value concepts easy to see and understand with the Base Ten Tile Set! These durable, hands-on math manipulatives help students develop a deep understanding of our base-ten number system through active exploration and visual learning.

Each set includes proportional tiles representing ones, tens, and hundreds. The ones tile measures 20 mm wide, the tens tile measures 30 mm wide, and the hundreds tile measures 40 mm wide, helping students visualize how numbers are built from groups of ones, tens, and hundreds. The tiles are 5 mm thick, making them easy for small hands to handle while remaining durable for years of classroom or homeschool use.

Students can use the tiles to model numbers, compare quantities, explore place value relationships, and build a strong foundation for addition and subtraction. When two sets are used together, students can physically model regrouping (borrowing and carrying), making abstract concepts concrete and easier to understand.
