Dienes (base 10)
All of the following resources are interactive and great for teaching online or on an interactive whiteboard. Spending a little time exploring the options allows them to be used to their full potential. I find it useful to shrink the blocks before beginning, to give more work space.

- up to thousands, which you can split and merge for exchanging/regrouping. Shrink the first block and others will then be the same size.

- up to thousands using differently coloured blocks, which can be exchanged or grouped. Shrink to desired size, then hit ‘Tidy’.

- up to hundreds, either the same or different colours, which can be exchanged/regrouped.
