Understanding Base 10 Blocks

The video tutorial introduces the concept of representing whole numbers using base 10 blocks. It explains the components of base 10 blocks, including units, rods, flats, and cubes, and demonstrates how to model numbers such as 23, 57, 341, and 2136 using these blocks. Each number is broken down into its place values, and the corresponding base 10 blocks are used to visually represent the number. The tutorial aims to help learners understand the place value system and how numbers can be constructed using base 10 blocks.
