A group pool of 500 means the maths decides the quantity, not the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThey interlock top and bottom\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is what separates Unifix from stacking blocks: a tower is a number and it can be broken at any point, so 7 becomes 3 and 4 in a child's hands rather than on a page. Counting, number bonds, addition, subtraction, patterning, multiplication as repeated groups, fractions of a tower, and measurement in cube-lengths all come out of the same box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTen distinct colours\u003c\/strong\u003e is enough for one per group, or for a ten-colour pattern, or for sorting - and few enough that children can name them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20mm cubes\u003c\/strong\u003e: big enough for a four-year-old's fingers and small enough that 500 of them still fit in one box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey lock firmly and come apart easily, which sounds trivial and is the single most important property of a counting cube in an infants classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MTA Essentials","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53793122517355,"sku":"EVPN042-21","price":160.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2795\/8891\/files\/pn042-21_unifix-cubes-group-pool-500-cubes_v1_1.webp?v=1788359816","url":"https:\/\/megaofficesupplies.com.au\/products\/unifix-cubes-500-group-pool","provider":"Mega Office Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
