1cm Cubes

The 1cm interlocking cubes can be used with an interlocking base board. True to its name, it provides a stable surface upon which interlocking cubes can be stacked. The slots fit the protruding sides of the cubes perfectly, whilst the neutral colour contrasts perfectly with the colourful cubes to be stacked on top.

Students can also use the baseboard to render 3D versions of bar graphs, create mini-structures like buildings, and illustrate various mathematical operations amongst others.

MAB Units - 1cm wooden and plastic units

The 1cm cubes are also referred to the MAB units (ones).  

MAB is a familiar base ten system, the structure of which lends itself primarily to teaching place value, but its applications are far reaching. MAB units can also easily be applied to teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, number sense, and counting. When used in conjunction with MAB longs, flats and cubes, these MAB units are a key component of engaging base ten block assessments.

Use the MAB with our high-quality plastic Place Value Frame which features three compartments, perfectly sized to fit the units, longs, and flats. All three compartments have built-in number dials in the front with numbers ranging from 0-9. 

For ideas to make most of the MAB, check out Dr Paul Swan's Base Ten Blocks book. The book is packed with hands-on ideas to illustrate place value, decimals, fractions, percentages and more.
