Math-U-See Integer Block Kit
Abstract math becomes much easier to understand when students can see and touch it. That's exactly why Math-U-See created the Integer Block Kit. These colorful manipulatives turn numbers into something students can build, compare, rearrange, and truly understand.Designed for use with the Math-U-See curriculum, this 133-piece set helps students model everything from basic addition and subtraction to multiplication, division, place value, fractions, decimals, and even introductory algebra concepts. By physically building and comparing quantities, students gain a deeper understanding of how numbers work together.
One of our favorite things about the Integer Block Kit is how long it stays useful. While younger students use the blocks to build number sense and master basic operations, older students continue reaching for them as they tackle fractions, decimals, and more advanced concepts. The blocks provide a consistent visual and tactile reference that grows alongside the learner.
The color-coded pieces make mathematical relationships easy to recognize and compare. Instead of relying solely on memorization, students can build, manipulate, and observe patterns for themselves, helping concepts make sense in a lasting way.
The Integer Block Kit is an essential component for families using Math-U-See and is especially helpful for visual and hands-on learners. It's also a practical choice for households teaching multiple students, ensuring everyone has access to the manipulatives needed throughout the curriculum.
From early arithmetic through introductory algebra, the Integer Block Kit helps students move beyond simply getting the right answer and toward understanding why the answer works.

Most families find it more convenient for both children to have their own set of Integer Blocks. However, you can stick with one set to ease the budget if your students don't mind taking turns as needed.

Colorful and visual

My daughter likes how the pieces are different color which helps her to visualize the math problems. I like how the pieces are divided into sections for easy storage in its own carrying case.

Block set

Honestly, the best part of Math U See is the block set. My kids will pull them out to play them for fun more than they actually used them with Math U See.

Love that these are hands on for my child who needs something in his hands. Also note there are online videos if you do not have a dvd player.

My daughter 9 years young loves using these block to help her through her math. Also my kinders love playing with them as well. Hopefully we can start counting with them as well soon.

Fun blocks
Melanie
My daughter likes working with the blocks when she needs to to learn a new concept, although she generally doesn't need them for long. They help with visualizing what you're doing on the paper. We used an abacus for a bit with another program, and incorporated that with the blocks for awhile, as one worked better than the other for certain types of problems. The blocks are fun to play with, too.

Well worth it
Lauren
This is a critical part of the math u see program. It’s an investment. Once you have it, you will not need to buy it again. The next year, you will just need the books. Well worth it to understand math concepts.

Necessary!
Jessica
These seem pricey but are necessary to the Math-U-See curriculum! They are very well made and will last you throughout the years of math and there are enough to be used by multiple students at once!

Excellent
Amy
This manipulative kit is critical for the Math U See program going as smoothly as possible. The size has been good for little hands, matches up perfectly with the worksheets, and the color system is memorable and seems to make learning the math facts a lot quicker. These double as a really fun toy for my crew, who beg to play with them once math lessons are over. They hold up well for that, too. They are a bit of an investment upfront -- my only complaint -- but something we can use year after year for multiple kids. I'd also note that, despite Timberdoodle's note about the packaging being flimsy, we've found the cardboard box and plastic insert to be sufficient for storage for us, now on our third year of lots of use.
