####Base Eight Blocks for Number Sense
Base-8 or octal numbers (rather, numerals) are important in computer science because of its close connection with the binary system. For example, 111 (bin)=7 (oct). Base-8 blocks are easy to make in a 3D design environment.
The impact of these blocks depends on the way they are used to communicate and model mathematical practices. Of course, after N^3, it is physically impossible to use blocks to show the meaning of a base in a positional value n
