Gumdrop Math

## Description

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 can't resist bragging when they are winning, so they count up and compare.

Free play mode lets you place and rearrange candy freely to model arithmetic of your choice. Need some counters for an addition problem on the go? No need for blocks that get scattered on the floor.
