Foundational Math Code Building Blocks

I bought these as a great educational Christmas gift for my son that would also be fun for him. He can use them to practice his emerging math skills, and have fun building with them at the same time. This is a great set, and will help him with a variety of different math skills. I may get another set to help him with more advanced math skills as he gets older. I love how this doubles as an educational toy and a building toy, and you can create games from it that are obviously educational, but also let a child play with them in ways they don't even realize they are learning from.

This is definitely a great product, especially for children with emerging mathematical skills.

Good learning tool to help your child with math. I was having trouble getting my son to understand math while going over his homework. I decided I needed help and started looking for a way to do just that. In my research I came across the cubes and decided to give them a try. I'm so glad I did because having a physical product that you can use to show them say 10-4=6 was just what we needed. It helped him by being able to see he had so many blocks and could figure it out by adding or taking them away. This product helped me teach my son math and I'm thankful I found them.

I purchased these for educational purposes. Ten cubes of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, white, brown, and black are included. Each 1" cube has one protruding face that can connect to every other (inverted) side of other cubes with ease. The plastic quality is good, the pieces do not stick, but connect and disconnect with ease without being too difficult (an adult could unsnap two cubes with one hand). The corners are squared, but not too sharp to cause pain. Even when squeezing opposite corners of a block, it doesn't hurt, compared to others. After 3 months of use (4 days/wk), they're still like new (strength of holding power doesn't diminish). We store them in a gallon sized zip-lock bag. For $9, this deal is unbeatable. I wish I would have found them sooner.

My kids love this product! We use it for math and just for fun :) They easily snap together, and are of pleasant feel and comfortable in their tiny hands. See attached pictures. The Batman home furniture is done by my 5 year old. He is also the one figuring out addends to make an eight.

Well built, very versatile tool for teaching math. I'm a homeschooling mom with a PhD in Molecular Biology. Math is one of the most fundamental skills that I want to give my kid. At first, I was using other blocks to illustrate addition and subtraction, and I didn't see why I might need anything more. Then I found these cubes. They turned out to be the single best math learning tool I've used so far.

They are well constructed, snap together well, stay together well, and come apart easily for me (slightly difficult for my 5 year old to assemble, but she can pull them apart easily). You can actually build three dimensional shapes with them (you have to be a little clever about how you rotate each block, but it works). My 5 year old and I might construct a 3 X 3 X 3 cube and talk about why 27 is a cube number, while the the 3 year old uses the cubes to build a "crane" that is 30 blocks high. We use them in place of cuisenaire counting rods. We use them to illustrate concepts in our Singapore Math work book. We use them to illustrate multiplication. We use them for place value (10's and 1's), subtraction with borrowing, etc.
