Cuisenaire Rods: Early Math Activity Set – Teaching Fraction Bars, Montessori Math Manipulatives, Math Teacher Must Haves Elementary, Kindergarten Homeschool Supplies

Great teaching tool

I was thrilled to receive this Cuisenaire Rods Early Math Activity Set. It is a fantastic product to use with visual and tactile learners. Before teaching addition and subtraction it is so very important to understand how the numbers relate to one another. Seeing the rods and touching them allows that to be seen. Children can see the orange rod is BIGGER than the yellow rod and the lime green rod is SMALLER than the magenta rod. This set comes with everything you need to use it upon opening the box. The mats, the dry erase marker and the rods are right there. NO PREP! Open and go! This would be a great "centers" for morning or afternoon work in the classroom. Also a great math warm up or introduction lesson as you explore ways the rods interact with each other and how they function. There are so many resources available online or in your library to learn more about using the Cuisenaire Rods. They were invented almost 80 years ago by a Belgian teacher Georges Cuisenaire. They are also referred to as number rods. Whatever it is that you call them, they are a fantastic tool to use in your preschool, homeschool, kindergarten, or church school setting. I believe understanding how the numbers relate to each other and being able to see that relationship visually benefits all learners! LOVE THEM!

I bought these for my 4 year old grandson. I learned math by using these rods in my first grade class in Maryland in the early 1960’s. Math became my favorite subject in school. Kids can hold a white rod in their hand and feel a one. My daughters learned how to use these rods when they were four and they excelled in math through their schooling.

I really like this tool for my elementary students.

Excelente mi hijo lo usado muchísimo

Got them for my boyfriend. He liked them

We ordered these to use with my kiddos Miquon math books and were pleased to find they were exactly the right sizes. My five year old has also enjoyed using the learning cards that came with the rods.

Me gustaron mucho para jugar y aprender con mis hijos, el material es bueno. Trae tarjetas que te ayudan a interactuar mejor con lo que quieres reforzar. Le doy cinco estrellas.

Fun for our 5 year old to play with math and numbers. He loves the games. Well made, high quality.

Excellent. Students use them daily and they are holding up.

These rods are plastic, not the wooden ones of my youth, but work well.
