Learning Base 10 is an important concept for the development of key math skills such as place value, borrowing, regrouping, and more. While we highly recommend getting your hands on a solid set of Base 10 blocks, you can also make a useful set at home with a few items you might have lying around anyway!
Materials:
Once you’ve decided on the materials you’re going to use for your homemade Base 10 blocks, then you can assemble them super quick! Simply glue ten beans on each popsicle stick. Leave a little space between the beans to make it easier to count the beans.
Once you make ten sticks you might consider gluing them together to make 100. Then you’ll have a 100 block for students to visually see the individual sticks of ten. You could glue some blank sticks to the back in order to connect them if desired. The single beans will count as the “ones.”
If you’d rather just print some Base 10 blocks you can do that too! File Folder Fun has some FREE Base 10 printables you can use to create hundreds, tens, and ones. We recommend printing the Base 10 Template on differently colored card stock paper for best results.

Ya’ll remember the day you came home with a set of Base 10 blocks right?
It’s like crossing the line between
“We’re thinking about Homeschooling
……and……
We are a Homeschooling family”
(I’m not kidding….It’s even mentioned on YouTube
…that means it’s got to be true!)
Anyway, the set came with it’s own workbook of ideas and activities, but we were also able to pick up this handy little game book that adds a bit more spice and interaction for my soon to be 1st grader!
It has some great punch out cards that you can use to make up your own games with…..and Sissy loves games……and competition…..
And a chance to beat Mom.
Seriously, when we played this afternoon, she didn’t even realize that she was learning.
And it took all of 10 minutes for her to start counting in the hundreds.
The girls got it figured out.
So now of course I’m on a Base 10 Mission
(Sounds Official doesn’t it!)
And I’ve been tracking down some helpful worksheets and activities online:
Okay, and there are like a ZILLION others online if you just do a search.
Anyone want to share their favorite Base 10 game or activity with us?
I know ya’ll know of some good ones!
