####Base Five Blocks for Number Sense
The base-five system is sometimes mentioned in a math textbook; I have personally spent a lot of time playing with it with several groups of elementary teachers. It is illuminating to experience the resistance of our habits of doing math in the base-ten system!
The impact of these blocks depends on the way they are used to communicate and model mathematical practices. Of course, after Base^3, it is physically impossible to use blocks to show the mean
