####Model Blocks for the Base 3 Number System

#####Example: 53_{Base 10}=1222_{Base 3}

These base-three blocks are designed upon a request. Indeed, it is important for students and their teachers to be aware of number representations other than base ten. A number, say 53, could be represented using any base: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, ... , although we typically use only base 10, 2, 8, 16, or, occasionally, 5, for pedagogical purposes. Anyone learning computer programming would benefit from a good understanding of base 2, 8, and 16, at least.

####Among the files are (Base = 3, unit = 10mm ^ 3):

Unit (3^0=1) Three (3^1) Nine (3^2) Twenty-Seven (3^3)

Please note that in a number (numeral) system other than base-ten, the words, ten, hundred, thousand, are very confusing, although some people do use them. A specific reference such as 3^2 is much better.
