Interlocking Plastic MAB Student Set

MAB is a base ten system, a reliable means of teaching place value and other key mathematics topics. Singular units measure 1cm cubed. Ten units make up one ‘long’, ten longs make up one ‘flat’, and ten flats form the large cube. With these it’s possible to clearly show the values of ones, tens, and hundreds in the context of place value, arithmetic, fractions, measurement, and much more.

Colourful Pieces

The units, longs, flats, and cube being different colours emphasises the distinction between them. It’s also helpful for children, parents, and teachers, who might need to refer to different pieces when describing activities. The vibrant colours include yellow units, green longs, blue flats, and a red cube.

Interlocking Student Set

The student set connects securely, allowing children to combine and separate blocks to explore other concepts such as carrying, borrowing, multiplication, division, and more. The interlocking set can be used for 2D patterns, 3D constructions, fractions, algebra, and geometry as well as place value.

This set is the perfect size to cater for an individual or small group of children testing their understanding. Perfectly manageable on the tabletop, could suit classrooms or home settings alike.

Made from a smooth easy-to-clean plastic, this set is both practical and durable. Working with small manipulatives encourages fine motor skill development, requiring both dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
