This is the tiny bowl the one bead goes in.
After 1, there is a rod of 10 beads, a sheet of 10 rods, and a cube of 10 sheets.
1, 10, 100, 1000, in concrete form.

Jordan's turn - showing me her card
This is the trinomial cube
for now, she just takes it apart and puts it back together the right way
The red is 'A' units, the blue is 'B' units, and the yellow is 'C' units
But the cool thing about this stuff is it is self-correcting!

She knows the names, the hard part for her now is reading the labels
