Since the blocks pack and unpack, regrouping becomes child’s play: “Carrying” amounts to closing a box, and “borrowing” to opening a box. NO TRADING is required! The 2-Place Counter is perfect for learning place value. Students organize blocks by size, with ones on the right and tens on the left, connecting the physical quantity to how it is written. The dry erase board is great for practicing writing numbers.The real magic of the 2-Place Counter is when a tenth block is put in, the full holder is ejected! This shows kids that only 0-9 blocks can be in any place. If there are 10, it really becomes the next size block!

This student 2 place counter needs the digiblock of 100 to work (Not included). The hundred case is loaded on the left to hold tens and the ten is loaded on the right to hold ones. When full or packed it will slide down so the lid of the box can be put on and inserted in the next column. (Visualization of carrying).
The bottom of the counter holds a dry erase board that can be used to display the algorithm, or count, or problem.
This wonderful tool can be stacked. (See photo). Plastic.
Some counters may have scuffing to the plastic but all work well! Brand new, these counters run $24. each.
