I call them "low slopes" or "33 degree slopes" (even though they are not
EXACTLY 33 degrees, just like the "45 degree slopes" aren't exactly 45)
I forget what LEGO calls them. I don't think any have ever been sold as a
single part bulk item, but there IS a parts pack, similar to 811 but with
these instead of 45s... the number escapes me at the moment but I bought a
boatload of them a while back thanks to the good offices of a nameless
benefactor
