If you want training on how to use your blocks go here. 

If you want plastic blocks read on. 

People always ask what should I get?

A combo kit and a set of multi-tens and some TRAINING and/or a Life Time Password and you are good to go!  Now you can buy them in modules so your initial cash outlay doesn't have to be as high and you still get them for life.

It doesn't matter what kind of base 10 blocks you have, this website will help you use them to best effect; however, many parents/teachers have figured out that their base 10 blocks are inferior for many applications.  There are also base 10 blocks that are practically identical to Mortensen math blocks, and many factions kits that are exactly the same from various companies.

If you already have some kind of base ten manipulatives then all you need is training on how to use them. Modules facilitate this, by showing you theory in practice as well as theory.  Module one is designed to give you the big picture, & give you tools to use with your base 10 blocks in the form of PDF and video.  Module two gives you training right down to the nitty-gritty. Module three & four show you actual lessons...

I of course am partial to the Mortensen Math blocks, but acquiring them can be challenging. Mortensen Company often takes 6 to 8 weeks to deliver.  Digital products like passwords and PDFs are delivered immediately though, so I often tell people to order their blocks and then spend time on my website, so that when they come you'll be (more than) ready to use them.  It will take you longer than 68 weeks to get through all the information that I have...

Many moms cry tears of joy because they finally understand the math they didn't learn in highschool and now that the fear is removed, they feel confident to play math with their children/students.  

POSTAL RATES HAVE GONE UP AGAIN!  Especially Australia but also CANADA or U.K...postage to the land down under is high.  I will send you an invoice for the additional shipping.

Ballpark to AUstrailia/Eastern Europe about $85...just for shipping.

Orders need PH#'s to ship.  If you don't include your phone number this will delay your order.

All physical orders: expect 6 to 8 weeks wait time in the USA. Usually they ship faster but not always.

Get a combo kit, and get started with sample lessons. Simple.

If you have a little more money (and who doesn't in these excellent economic times?) and multiple kids who are under ten, get a curriculum starter kit. But if you just want to get started, a combo kit is step one.
Better than that is a combo kit combo:

Your kids need to get their hands on the blocks. Just watching videos will not suffice.  They have to play along. Watch videos build problems, draw problems and finally write the symbols...

If you have a school or tutoring business the "combo kit" or case of combo kits is a good place to start.

A Combo kit & MULTI-TENS (Combo Kit Combo) and passwords really will get you going and as you can tell from the testimonials "change your math life." Or you could just get a multi-tens set (or two) if you already have a combo kit.

In Module two and three you will see why having two sets of multi tens is advantageous if you can afford them.  A combo kit with two multi tens Is called a "Deluxe Combo Kit Combo."

This will be your go to set of blocks for most of the mathematics Presented on this website.  You will see hours of lessons showing you how to use these manipulatives to best effect.

Check eBay for blocks.

These are called multi-tens.  They make math fast and easy so you don't have to fumble around with individual tens or x's when building larger problems. The mind wants to work quickly, don't get bogged down in computation or building because you have inferior blocks.  On the other hand you don't need to have Mortensen math blocks to take advantage of this website.  You will learn how to use Base 10 blocks and make them into the powerful tools they were meant to be.

Then you can add more like this:

"Your method of teaching math is Perfect!! We are playing the games from your free pdf on math games. He is CRAZY about the bucket game. He wears me out with the game but it is wonderful to see him excited about math." ~PS, IL

Curriculum Starter Kits $551.25 or $420.00: (Now has it's own page just like the combo kit.) The DSK is the whole kit and caboodle. Basically is a lot more than 551 bucks worth of stuff crammed into a box. This kit is for people with kids 10 and under!! If you have three or four kids this kit is the best value by far.

Not for high school or college kids. If you have 10 to 13 year olds get Lvl 1 and Lvl 2 books instead of smiley face.

After a lot of hanranging, Mortensen Company is filling my orders. They have updated the series A Manuals. But basically you get everything you see here.  Expect them to take 6 to 8 weeks to fill your orders.

The Modules give you hours of training and examples on how to use base ten blocks effectively. This training used to cost $1000.00's when you include travel and lodging because the only place you could get this kind of instruction was a training in Idaho...

Click Module II for free training excerpts, and info on training: currently there are hours & hours there...90% of which you won't find anywhere else.  It is unique content on the entire web.

Passwords change every few months or so... 

Passwords, are the same for everybody. You not get to create a user id and password.

PASSWORD INFO:

Considering this info is unavailable anywhere on the net that I've been able to find, I'd say iModules are a deal. Not to mention I charge $50 ban hour and there are HOURS AND HOURS of video and instruction available to you with a password. As you should be able to tell by perusing my site, you will get more than 400 bucks worth of info here.

Even if the PDFs and videos were worth only a dollar apiece, there are more than 400 of them on this website.  Don't get overwhelmed, Start with Getting Started, move on to module one...The EZ PZ Overview will clear things up for you in an evening.

Get into the PDFs page which has several PDFs for younger students as well a 10 Page practice sheet for making change. The average student gets out of highskool and can't make change or do fractions.

If the password changes before your full term has been used up, just email me with NEW PASSWORD in the subject line. Be sure to include your transaction ID from Paypal (and what page you are trying to get into).

"I was wowing through the whole video at how easy you made that!" ~Elizabeth S. From California.

"@CrewtonRamone Totally under-rated math-communicator: ur manipulatives, methods n math-insight should be taught to every math teacher by law" ~MerryMakes on Twitter

Percentages are also among the vids on the protected pages...and you won't find percentages with base ten blocks like this anywhere else.

Currently do not have the capability for a master password on this site.

“Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.” ~Peter F. Drucker

"Buy Quality once." ~Proverb
