Devices and methods for teaching and learning mathematical concepts are provided as a mathematics manipulative having a base with a plurality of receptacles, each configured for accepting one of a plurality of blocks in an orientation such that faces of the block are angled with respect to a horizontal bottom surface of the base. Each of the blocks has a plurality of faces, each face having an indication of a value; wherein the plurality of receptacles are sized and arranged such that, when blocks are placed in the receptacles, adjacent blocks define a space configured for accepting another block; and wherein the values indicated on the faces of each of the blocks are combinable with the values indicated on the faces of the other blocks in accordance with a mathematical operation. Games played in accordance with a method of using the mathematics manipulative blocks teach mathematics concepts.
