While I don't remember the colors or anything, I still visualize addition like this I think.
- numlock86 5y agoI had a box of these in elementary school, too. I am not great at math but these things ... I didn't get the point. They bored the hell out of me whenever we had to use them. I had some great experiences by stacking them and making jenga-like tower builds, though. I think they even came with a small booklet that showed you some basic builds. But using them to do math stuff always felt unnecessary and tedious because it was much simpler just to do it on paper or in my head.
