Base ten blocks are a mathematical manipulative used by students to learn basic mathematical concepts including addition, subtraction, number sense , place value and counting. The student can manipulate the blocks in different ways to express numbers and patterns. Generally, the 3 dimensional blocks are made of a solid material such as plastic or wood and come in four sizes to indicate their individual place value Units one s place , Longs ten s place , Flats hundred s place and Blocks thousand s place . ref Van de Walle, John 2008 . Elementary and Middle School Mathematics Teaching Developmentally, p. 191. Pearson Education Inc. USA. ISBN 100205573525 ref There are also computer programs available that simulate base ten blocks. Use in mathematics instruction Base ten blocks are popular in elementary school mathematics instruction. They are frequently used in the classroom by teachers to model concepts, as well as by students to reinforce their own understanding of said concepts. Physically manipulating objects is an important technique used in learning basic mathematic principles, paricularly at the early stages of cognitive development. Studies have shown that their use, like that of most mathematical manipulatives, decreases as students move into higher grades. ref Hatfield, Mary M. 1994 .

Fokker periodicity blocks are a concept in tuning theory used to mathematically relate musical intervals in just intonation to those in equal temperament equal tuning . They are named after Adriaan Fokker Adriaan Dani l Fokker . These are included as the primary subset of what Erv Wilson refers to as constant structures, where each interval occurs always subtended by the same number of steps . ref cite web url http launch.groups.yahoo.com group tuning message 5244 title CS author Kraig Grady publisher Launch.groups.yahoo.com date 1999 10 04 accessdate 2010 12 04 ref The basic idea of Fokker s periodicity blocks is to represent just ratios as points on a lattice music lattice , to find vector space vectors in the lattice which represent very small intervals, known as comma music commas . Treating pitches separated by a comma as equivalent folds the lattice, effectively reducing its dimension by one. For an n dimensional lattice, identifying n commas as long as they are linearly independent reduces the dimension of the lattice to zero, meaning that the number of pitches in the lattice is finite. This zero dimensional lattice is a periodicity block. Identifying the m pitches of the periodicity block with m equal tuning gives equal tuning approximations of the just ratios that defined the original lattice. Note that octaves are usually ignored in constructing periodicity blocks as they are in scale theory generally because it is assumed that for any pitch in the tuning system, all ... known as octave equivalence .

COBI is a Polish toy company with its headquarters in Warsaw , Poland . COBI s most prominent toys are building block s sold primarily in Poland and central Europe. They sell other products but none of these are available from the company s English language online store. The COBI website accepts payment in Polish Zloty or Euro currency Euros . The building block themes are Small Army, Tannenberg 1410 , Action Town , Boeing , Renault F1 Team , Romans & Barbarians , McLaren , Pirates , and Creative Power . Small Army is a military theme with tanks, aircraft, artillery, forts, and ships Tannenberg 1410 is a medieval theme based on the Battle of Grunwald , it includes siege craft, fortresses, and knights on horseback Action Town is a town theme with police, firefighter, and construction sets McLaren is a Formula 1 racing theme and Creative Power isn t a theme at all with sets of loose blocks and simple vehicle sets where the vehicles are less than 30 pieces each. The other themes are self explanatory. COBI s variety of themes is not nearly as expansive as Lego s product lines but they have an abundance of sets in each theme. The building block s don t use very many special pieces and are reminiscent of older Lego sets from the 70s and 80s. The mini figures look similar to Lego figures. however most figures have a head with a nose sticking out, others also have a mustache. The most notable distinction from Lego is that COBI has four military and para military themes, with more than two thirds of the sets belonging to one of these four themes. In COBI and BEST LOCK announced a merger on February 2, 2006. BEST LOCK, another privately owned toy manufacturer, had a strong presence in North America and Asia.
