Counting and Value of Base 10 Blocks

The video tutorial explains how to count base 10 blocks, starting with cubes and sticks, each representing values of 1 and 10, respectively. It then introduces a more complex example involving blocks, which contain 10 sticks, equating to 100. The tutorial demonstrates how to label and count these elements to find the total number of cubes in each example.
