Math HELP!!!!!!

[dangercat]

Please help! I have a test this week and the math teacher insists that there is a base ten block that represents 10,000. I can't find it any where.

I know that ones are singles, tens are longs, hundreds are flats and thousands are cubes. Does anyone know what comes next??????

Thank you! Thank you!

Not sure what this is, but I figured I could see if I could find out what is next...

Let me know if this helps:

Addict,
Thank you! I think she is just trying to make us rethink how we would use the manipulatives.

As far as I know, you would use 10 cubes.

I'm not aware of any base ten block that's higher than a thousand.

We suggested that in class and she says think bigger. *shrugs* I had someone suggest a brick. Thank you for your help!!!
