Gumdrop Math is base 10 blocks as candy. Play by yourself or with a friend. Roll the dice, collect gumdrops, trade up to a chocolate bar to win. The two player "pass and play" encourages conversations about numbers to enhance learning. Kids cant resist bragging when they are winning, so they count up and compare.
