Review on 🧩 edxeducation Linking Cubes - Set of 100 - Math Manipulatives for Construction and Early Math - Suitable for Preschoolers Age 3+ and Elementary Students by Glenn Rodgers

I've also always used whole blocks of numbers. However, they don't represent the subtraction well enough because they can't break apart. That's the only reason I bought these binding cubes. I prefer these hands down to learn subtraction. You tie a large number together, then take a few and see what's left. You can then put it back together and form the number you started with by proving that addition and subtraction are opposites, or vice versa. I really haven't found anything else that engages kids so completely in subtraction and helps them fully understand it. I am a certified teacher and would highly recommend them for home schooling in the classroom.
