I have used these with my 4th grade and 2nd grade students. They are very helpful in helping students understand place value concepts.

I look forward to using these coins with my kids at home. We can use them for discussing place value, addition, subtraction, and multiplication. I think my kids will enjoy using them for math and pretend play at home.

As a manipulative, they are great to have around. They are color coded to be used with other products like the Student Place Value Practice Boards or Place Value Hands-On Student Pack (All products have purple ones, blue tens, etc.) As far as durability, foam seems somewhat thin. Since I am using it at home only one child will be using it, so I think they will last a good amount of time. However, I would have preferred if the coins were plastic.

My students really love these and I love that all of lakeshores place value materials follow the same color pattern. It makes it very easy for students to visualize. My one request would be can you make a kit that offers more than 240? I had to buy two kits and even that wasn't enough for a class of 20 kids to each have their own. Otherwise the quality is great and will definitely be buying some more in the future.
