Wooden Base-Ten Addition & Subtraction Toy 🧮➕➖

Make place value visible and hands-on! Kids slide beads/number tiles across a tens frame and place-value board to model make-ten, regrouping (carry), and borrowing (take-from-ten)—turning abstract arithmetic into playful, concrete action. 🌈

Why it’s great ✨

• See base-ten clearly: Separate ones ↔ tens with a frame/board for instant place-value sense.

• Regrouping made concrete: Combine 10 ones → 1 ten, or exchange 1 ten → 10 ones.
  Examples: 9 + 3 → 10 + 2 = 12; 12 − 7 = (10 + 2) − 7 = 5.

• Multi-sensory learning: Look, count, and move—visual + tactile memory 👀✋

• Step-by-step progression: Practice within 10 → 20 → 100, matching each learner’s level.

• Game-based practice: Timed rounds, challenge cards, and “quiz master” role play keep it fun 🎯

• Kid-safe build: Smooth solid wood with water-based paint and rounded edges 🌳

How to play 🎮

1. Make-Ten Addition: Fill one tens frame, then add the remainder to model carrying.

2. Take-From-Ten Subtraction: Trade 1 ten for 10 ones to model borrowing and subtract.

3. Compose/Decompose: Break numbers into tens + ones, then recombine.

4. Challenge Modes: Draw task cards, race the clock ⏱️, or parent-child head-to-head.

Learning benefits 🧠

• Strong place-value foundation & base-ten thinking

• Confident regrouping (carry/borrow)

• Better number sense, mental strategies, and problem decomposition

• Improved focus, fine-motor control, and hand–eye coordination

Perfect for 👨👩👧

Home learning, classroom centers, math remediation, and gifts. Recommended ages 3+ with adult supervision (contains small parts—do not put in mouth). ⚠️

What’s in the box 📦 (varies by set)

Place-value board and/or tens frames, counting beads/counters, number & operation tiles, activity/task cards, and a quick guide.

Turn “hard” arithmetic into moving, seeing, and understanding—so kids master addition and subtraction with smiles and confidence! 🌟
