• Base-ten blocks show a number as the blocks that make it: single cubes for ones, rods of ten, flats of one hundred and large cubes of one thousand. Counting the blocks in each column gives 3 hundred flats and 8 one cubes.
• Written in expanded form that is 308 = 300 + 8, which is the same information as the blocks with the columns written out.
• There is no tens block here, which is exactly what the 0 stands for in 308 — the column is empty but it still has to be written, or the other digits would slide into the wrong place.
