## What is Base Ten Blocks ES?

Hands-On Math Base Ten Blocks supports both English and Spanish languages. Hands-On Math Base Ten Blocks simulates the use of a popular math manipulative used to teach place value and addition and subtraction with regrouping.

Base Ten Blocks are one of the best ways to help students learn about place value. While using the app students place Base Ten Blocks on an interactive Playground to represent numbers. Blocks can be regrouped or exchanged by dragging a virtual manipulative from one column to the next.

### 4/5 — Love this app, but . . .

*2014-05-23*

This is such a great app to demonstrate regrouping. This app engages my students with special needs. They love using this app. I can watch their light bulbs going on when they use it to regroup tens and ones. However, I am having glitches when subtracting. Frequently, the program develops a glitch when regrouping tens back to ones. It will be working fine, and then it just stops allowing you to move a ten to the ones side. I hope this will be repaired soon.
