mom2bee Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 If you are familiar with the foam, green base-ten blocks, you might be able to help me. I am looking for a set of blocks made out of the exact same material as these green , but in different quantities/configurations. I saw a partial set at the thrift store and in it, the blocks are the exact same type/dimensions as the foam green base ten blocks but there is a 2 rod, 5 rod, and 7 rod, which leads me to believe that there is a bar for each quantity 2-9 as well. There are also square flats--not just a 10x10 hundred flat that you see in the usual base-10, but a 2x2, 3x3 and a 5x5 ALSO, there are other configurations such as 3x2 flats and 5x4 rectangular solids. I have scoured all over ETA Hand2Minds website and can't find them. I have also looked on Lakeshore Learning and no luck. Does anyone know where these blocks came from? Quote
Slache Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Check amazon for similar sets. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/mlt/B008N1EJXM/ref=psd_mlt_dp_click_B008N1EJXM?showV2=1 Quote
mom2bee Posted January 19, 2016 Author Posted January 19, 2016 I have not been able to find the set anywhere but I did also check Amazon. Any body? Quote
HomeAgain Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I think I found them! ETA Hand2mind used to make them. They're called Factor Blocks. Scroll down the page here: http://www.guesthollow.com/homeschool/math/mathmanipulatives.html 1 Quote
mom2bee Posted January 19, 2016 Author Posted January 19, 2016 Yup! Give the woman a prize! I think I found them! ETA Hand2mind used to make them. They're called Factor Blocks. Scroll down the page here: http://www.guesthollow.com/homeschool/math/mathmanipulatives.html I was coming to update that I'd found them but if I'd checked in this morning I would have saved myself a few hours worth of searching! I've spent time on the phone with some ETA representatives and it looks like these blocks are now out of stock/aren't sold anymore. Bummer. I thought that they looked quite spiffy. Quote
