Base Blocks

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features illustrations of children holding signs with numbers and corresponding columns of base blocks next to them. The students are directed to look at the number on each sign and color the same number of base blocks as indicated. The base blocks are shown in stacks to visually represent the quantity specified by the number on the sign. It’s a coloring activity that combines the recognition of numerals with the quantity they represent, using base blocks as a visual aid.

The purpose of the worksheet is to teach students to associate numerical values with physical quantities, a foundational math skill. By coloring the corresponding number of base blocks, students reinforce their counting skills and develop an understanding of number magnitude. This activity also helps to build number sense, which is the ability to recognize numbers and their relationships. Additionally, it serves as an introduction to base-ten blocks, a common visual representation used in mathematics education to illustrate place value and arithmetic concepts.
