[Blindmath] Base ten block symbols

[Wilson_KC]

I am a Braillist and preparting a math SBApractice test so I won't personally be with the student at the time the test is given.  I use a full cell to represent 100s, dots 1,2,3 for the tens and dot 1 for ones.  I was wondering what people use for the 1000s cube.  I think I'll use Capital C for cube and write a Transcribers Note to indicate it is used for 1000s cube.  Thanks for the input.

KC are you the teacher or preparing the materials?

As a TVI, when I do these, I use the word, and show the students the manipulatives. The point of pictures of the blocks is to remind the sighted children of the blocks they have hopefully seen and had hands on time with, so I also make sure my student uses the base 10 blocks at their seat.

If you reproduce the blocks each exercise can go on for pages, and will overwhelm the student. Manipulatives are best.

So I'm looking for advise on Brailling a 4rd grader's math.  What symbols would you use for the thousands cube?
