Students love to learn with Digi-Block Mathematics!  They often ask, "Can we do Digi-Block now?"  or say, "Yes!  Digi-Blocks!" when I tell them it is time for math.  Digi-Blocks make it fun by building and playing.  Students easily learn place value, borrowing and carrying by packing and unpacking the blocks and building trains.  The blocks can also be used to multiply and divide. The Digi-Blocks make it easy to see long division in action.  Students marvel at the tiny Digi-Blocks that are used for decimals.  Digi-Block Mathematics follows math progression learning by first mastering concrete, then pictorial, then abstract.  The program starts at age 4 and progresses through grade 6.  

Digi Trains help very young children learn to confidently count, add, and subtract numbers up to one hundred, without first having to learn the symbols for the digits 1, 2, …, 9, let alone the abstraction of zero!  The idea is to only speak the numbers, not write them, and to rely on the trains to emphasize the rhythm of the spoken count. 

Single blocks are loaded into open holders (“cars”) that are placed behind an engine. There is only one rule for making a good train: “Move the blocks as far forward as possible!” Counting the blocks on a train, with a beat on the last block in each car, naturally leads kids to discover the advantage of counting by tens. Kids love putting trains together and taking them apart. In doing so, they see for themselves how addition and subtraction work!
