Exploring Base-Ten Blocks for Number Modeling

Miss Veli introduces a math lesson on modeling numbers using base 10 blocks. The video explains the components of base 10 blocks, such as ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands, and demonstrates how to model numbers in various ways. A practical example of dividing cookies among classes is used to illustrate the concept. The lesson also covers comparing different number representations and concludes with guided practice questions.
