    Longs (2L), Flats (2F), Blocks (2B)

    A set of Base Two blocks are on this and the next material card (5B). Cut along all solid line segments. Each piece is labeled. A Base Two Long is 1 cm by 1 cm and is labeled "2L". A Base Two Flat is 2 cm by 2 cm and is labeled "2F". A Base Two Block is 2 cm by 2 cm by 2cm and is labeled "2B". Fold these 3-dimensional blocks along the dark dotted lines; then tape to make a cube. Directions for other blocks are on the next page. Use the unit blocks from Material Card 4 with this set of Base Blocks.

    Long Blocks (2LB) and Flat Blocks (2FB)

    This page contains the remainder of the set of Base Two blocks. Cut along all solid line segments. Each piece is labeled. A Base Two Long Block is 4 cm by 2 cm by 2 cm and is labeled "2LB". The Base Two Flat Block is 4 cm by 4 cm by 2 cm and is labeled "2FB". Fold these 3-dimensional blocks along the dark dotted lines; then tape to make rectangular solids.
